[high]Staff Edit/Update[/high]
I have released an updated version of this hack (version 2.0.1), this version fixes some security issues with this hack. All version prior to this one allow users to insert html in their shouts, this can cause problems with them using html that breaks the site layout or malicious javascript. Download the new zip file (vBshout_fixed.zip) and upload the new vbshout.php file to patch/upgrade. If you want to manual instructions they are in the zip file, in the file bugfixes.txt
Second Staff update
I've uploaded a new version of this hack, dubbed '2.0.2'. This one should fix the html injection issues without breaking special characters. To upgrade, download the new zip file and upload the new vbshout.php file.
Please note that this only fixes the html injection issues. I do not use this hack on my own forum (although I've tested this on a client's board) so I will not be fixing the server load issues. I suggest you do not install this hack if you can't deal with the extra server load, as it's rather intensive.

i can't shout in my shoutbox
there is no reaction after i click on "shout". but when i enter the post again and send via "shout", i get an error message, that the post is in progress
I banned usergroup 1 (unregistered/not logged in)
and now as a guest I get this in my shoutbox
Can anyone tell me how to fix?
Thanks in advance.
Un-Banning usergroup 1 for now
this is a result of the ban you did .... try setting the option under the ban so that banned users cant see the shoutbox at all rather than being able to see it but just not being able to shout in it.
1) How do you make the text smaller? http://biblocality.com/forums
2) How do you decrease the width of the shoutbox?
3) How do you make so that "Currently Active Users" does not not always read "Viewing the Shoutbox" for everyone?

Yes I assume that's a bug with the hack itself. When my members are viewing the forums homepage, it shows up as "Viewing The Shoutbox". Is there a fix to that please?
Great Hack thx, installed and nearly working fine.
2 Problems though.
Graphics like smilies are not showing, images ( img code ) are not shown only urls are working. Even though everything is set properly.
The reload of the shoutbox is far too often and brings up the traffic...how can i reduce the reloads? Esp. in firefox it is also looking anoying with every reload, its like a flackering of the monitor but only in the box.
ah, one thing else, when pruned via "/prune" all numbers of counters/shouts of the users ( who shouted are deleted as well.
Is there a possibility that those counts are remainung even after the shouts have been deleted?
Thx for any help!
Edit: 21.33
I found out how to work the smilies and graphics, but in myopinion its not good to make it the same variable as signature, now my users can use smilies and grpahics in their signatures what i have never allowed...
Quote:
To fix the smilies, go to your vBulletin options -> User Profile Options and choose yes for Allow Smilies in Signatures, now you have smilies
Still the reload thing, any Help is appriciated...
