GSBOS: Generic Shout Box Operating System
Developer Last Online: Nov 2023 
What is it?
GSBOS is at a glance a simple shoutbox, users can send messages and everyone else can see it. However, it utilizes Javascript intervals and DOM methods to create a 'typing' effect on every message that shows, and is designed to look like a generic console application. The use of typing messages allows for cool tags such as '[delete]' and '[speed]' that delete letters after they have been typed or makes certain words type faster. An unintended side effect of the way this was created also makes it use much less bandwidth than major chatboxes, as it does not wipe the screen then redownload a bulk of messages each time; It only gets what it needs. Can I see it in action? There is a demo set up at http://www.dinnerbone.com/forums. You must register to use it, or log in using one of the following: 'test' - Normal chat 'butterfingers' - To try the Butterfingers effect 'stupid' - To try the 'stupid' effect. The password for them all is 'test1'. How customisable is it? I have aimed to make as much customisability as possible, and you can see the result in the admin options. You can alter anything from message typing speed to the console background to the rate of butterfingers that members have. Wait, 'butterfingers'? GSBOS also features per-user effects that, well, have no real purpose but to amuse. 'Butterfingers' causes the effected people to type with lots of generated mistakes, and 'Stupidize' (For lack of a better name) forces people to acknowledge their own IQ. For example, if I were to be under the effects of Stupidize and say "Hey, my name is Dinnerbone and I'm the author of GSBOS!", it would appear as "hallo dinnerdones anme am dinneroben nd dinndrbone duh author of gsbos yah". Does it work in every browser? Unfortunately, I have not been able to test this in quite a lot of browsers. However, it should work in most modern browsers. How do I install it? Read readme.txt  What features does it have?

I only had this once when I added it to cmps and created a module under both my styles. once I fixed the module to display across both styles it went away. EDIT*** Please on the list of "to-do's" DO NOT ADD ANY BUTTONS to this chatbox This is the only one so far with no buttons. I love it.

Strange. Did you modify any settings or install any other mods or mod updates recently? Also, are all members seeing this error or just a specific few? If it's just a few, do those members share any common settings, and what browser are they each using?
I can't think of anything that uses GET requests inside my code, the javascript uses POST but that wouldn't print the error to the shoutbox. The php itself does no GETs or POSTs, and certainly doesn't involve any 'index.html' files. I'll look into it, but anything you can tell me to help reproduce the error would be very helpful.

can't give you more, sorry, most are using ie and firefox, not all members get it, I for one don't get them at all, I get the double post, until I refresh the page, then the double's disappear, nothing new has been added your hack is the latest, I even removed the other chatbox we had, figured your's was running better and less lag, but these error's will get us in hot water...

any way to prune one line at a time? I use GBOS as an announcement center as well since it's not used all the time. Sometimes my members type something in and nobody replies. I'd like to prune just that message and still keep up my 2 or 3 lines of my message instead of retyping it all over again.

Hello. First of all, great mod. Love it.
 Though, I have a kind of a bug. When I type a message with national characters (like ?, ?, ?, ?), the shout appears blank. I'll show a screenshot as an example:  I'm using vB 3.8.3. Thanks.  P.S.: I checked the encodings and they're right...
