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.

Yes, I think this is caused by the fact I upgraded my board from VB3.0.3 to vb3.0.7 last week and since then it seems to have disappeared, I looked in my phrases and there are a lot, so why would this one disappear? How do I fix this?

Re-run the install script selecting the Override option as well.

That's the reason for my reply! As I said works fine for me and not the choice of the board to remove a hack just cause you can't get it to work!

Look at my details and the version is sitting there for you to see!
