QuoteReplyTopic: Shoutbox About To Be Activated! Posted: June 05 2007 at 3:15pm
Hey,
After extensive testing Andrew and I have found a shoutbox that works pretty well. We wanted to test it to make sure that it did not slow down the board in any major way.
The new shoutbox should be up in the next 24 hours or so. Initially a shoutbox will ONLY be available here at 360 waves. We will wait and see how well it goes and may consider other forums as time goes on.
Thanks for your patience.

yeah it's tight but does it increase our post count.
No...it does not increase post count AND unless you do a screen capture you can not keep the shouts.
Also...Andrew and Thomas have been looking at the new Shoutbox and don't like how limited it is. As a result, they are going to write their own from HB.com and I told them to include cool skins and other options this current box limits.
One thing...it will require that you log in. Right now, anyone can shout. They promised to have the new improved shoutbox up by the end of the week. We will see how that goes but I promise we will come up with something better.
In the meantime if you have suggestions on how to make it better, please post or bmail me.
We will keep the current shoutbox up until the new one is ready and it will be a custom design. So let me know so I can pass it on to Andrew.

Yes...this is one of the limitations we don't like. Our new box will have unlimited shouts.
Sorry about that. I guess you get what you pay for and when you use someone else's software you have to deal with the limits. This will be fixed. I promise.

Can you make it so you have to have an account to use the chatbox? Because there will be too many flamers especially with the unlimited posts?
Yes...agreed. That is one of the features.
Thanks for the feedback. We will do our best.
I have already talked to Paul - the HB graphic artist - and he is going to design some custom skins. If any of you have ideas, please let me know and I will pass them on to Paul.
Thanks for your patience.
