ShoutBox request

Post #1

Post by Murad »

I think having a "Shout Box" on the top of the homepage is a really good idea.

An example (with the ads blocked out):

I think its a free php script that you can download, though im not too sure.

Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" without being put to the test?
We have tested those before them, for GOD must distinguish those who are truthful, and He must expose the liars.

This biggest problem with this chat software is that messages sometimes do not get posted. But, other than that, it looks promising. Unfortunately, this problem makes the chat almost unusable.

I posted this problem in their support forum:

Other than that, it's a pretty good chat. I like that it tells you how many people are online in the forum's main page, and also, I always win at the dice roll thing :)

Now this is a real shoutbox.

Does it come with built-in commands like "/Clear" "/Kick" etc..?

I don't think so. :-k

Seems like the shoutbox works well. so I'll soon be disabling the previous chat. Too bad though since it looked so promising.

I've replaced the PHP chat with the original Java IRC chat client.
