Shoutbox Hack 1.04b

11/09/04 - Version 1.04b. Just an installer upgrade, nothing more. Nothing to see here, move along.

10/22/04 - Version 1.04a released. This is not an upgrade from 1.04. If you already have 1.04 installed, don't worry about this. This release just updates the installer and fixes any errors in it. If you had problems installing it last time, this should work better. If you need support, posting it here may get it answered, though posting at the board at GeekyDesigns.com is prefered.

This is the same hack formerly released by Link14716.

08/30/04 4:19 PM EDT: Fixed a settings bug (I hope): see this post.

08/29/04: Shoutbox 1.04 is released, featuring a new installer system (using the Hack Installer System) and redone templates, as well as a few bug fixes. Enjoy.

Presenting: The Shoutbox Hack


Support posts made at GeekyDesigns.com have a higher priority than posts made in this thread, and is the prefered way of getting support.



There are way too many features to list, so I'll just let the screenshots do the talking.

Thanks!

Trana: Are you clicking on the generate readme files checkbox at all upon the first screen in the installation?

How to fix it?

[cgwillis]

It doesn't work anymore, don't install it. It loses the shouts every day.

I've noticed that too....sux

[owner]

didnt install for me either

[Trana]

Since this one doesn't seem to work, can anyone recommend another good shoutbox hack? I can't find one that works.

[Trana]

I have tried it with that option checked and unchecked. It is actually to generate the template files, not a readme though.

[saint_seiya]

Ive had the shoutbox hack installed for almost two years now and this morning out of nowhere, they were all gone.

We posted a few more, I checked again and they are gone.

Is there something that needs to be changed or is it possible the hack isnt particularly secure from outsiders? Any help would be appreciated.

[Trana]

Sounds like the same problem a lot of people are having. Unless someone says otherwise, chances are this hack is no longer supported by the developer.

[saint_seiya]

Is there any newer more supported types of the hack?

I mean I just don't see why it would delete, lol.
