Chat Modifications - vBulletin 3.x Shoutbox 1.0 (AJAX)

vBulletin 3.x Shoutbox 1.0 is a simple PHP and AJAX shoutbox script that is fully integrated with the vBulletin forum system. Once you have installed it you can place it in any of your vBulletin forum templates.

Features:

* Tested to work with vBulletin 3.x.
* It uses AJAX. This means that every time a new shout is posted by someone it will instantly display in the shoutbox without the page having to be refreshed.
* It is fully customizable. You can allow guests to post, select the number of shouts to display, and even change the name of the shoutbox.
* Only takes about 2 minutes to install. With very simple instructions in a small text file, you will have a unique shoutbox on your forum up and running in no time.
* It automatically inherits the style of the forum. If your forum has multiple style options, it uses the style the user has selected.

Question:

Can you change the location of the text field area (type box) below the message area so they are stacked? Also, it would be nice that the text field does not scroll with the messages area. Check my site for an example www.talkjesus.com but this one is 3rd party, so it pulls the code from the other site.

as for the stacking - this could be done very very easily with a minor modification to the shoutbox.php file - if you want me to help you i can do it for you, just pm me

as for the scrolling - you can set the shoutbox iframe to hide the y overflow using css and disable the scrollbar. again very simple.

Can you please explain how to stack them? I can modify the code, just need to know what the modification is that must be done.

Please explain about the scrolling too :X (sorry)

I'm a decent css learner, but programming I'm just a good listener

So the scrolling, this will allow scrolling only the message area while the type field area is static, just like the shoutbox I have now on my site, correct?

Seems pretty cool and will probably download it tomorrow, is there anyway to add a sound when someone posts a new shout in the shoutbox?

Questions:
1/ How many query does this one use?
2/ Options for admin to delete shout messages?
3/ when you scroll down the box, the shoutbox also scroll. Is there away to keep the shoutbox message box stays still while you scroll the text box?
4/ Also, is there an option to make the shoutbox stay on top of the forum throughout regardless which forum/page we are in?

also, as for my skin, keep an eye on my site, i am going to be making 4 versions of that skin and releasing them free to the public (red, green, blue, and grey). i will be posting them in the style mods section of this site too.

Is it possible for you to create a skin/style in white for working folks who would like to be in the forum and be at work at the same time (avoid attention from boss)? I have been looking around for one but there are none.
