It was bugging the hell out of me; the thing was constantly broken. If we can find one that isn't so crap, we'll install it. Until then, we're shoutboxless.

And it's bugged the hell out of most of us not to have a shoutbox at all Tongue

And it feels like the forum is constantly broken now Undecided

We should find one that isn't so crap, and install it! WITH AVATARS! And also some nitroglycerin, if you don't mind Sleepy

By 'we', I of course mean 'all you poor people'. I'm much too precious to do any work, don't be silly Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Anybody ever consider a status box instead. One that stays up on all the main pages except in the threads themselves.


...Just a thought.

Get your thumb out your ass Adrian and get a shoutbox working Wink

Just wondered what had happened to it is all. Would be good to get something like that back up, the chat room function on here is rarely used Sad

Thats the problem with MyBB. I dont mess with it, and if a webdesign cutomer wants a forum, I suggest SMF.

Now, some people dont like SMF, but their community is much more active in upgrading it than most others.

I know what you mean, I have 2 forums running on SMF myself.

I've tried a lot of forum software, and MyBB is the best I've come across so far. I used to work on the dev team for it, so I know the inner workings very well. I'm not prepared to change software simply to get access to better Shoutbox plugins. If we don't find one, I'll dedicate some of my spare time over the summer to creating one.
