I did a page to host the ShoutBox with FrontPage. How do I make that page to be a small (say 500x300 pixels) pop up window just like those pop-up comercials that you get all over the place instead of a whole page that opens in the same browser window? It must be a setting somewhere but I just gave up looking for it

 Add this to your UBB header: code:
<script language="JavaScript">
function PopupWindow(win) {
PopupWin=window.open(win,"PopupWin","toolbar=no,directories=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,width=300,height=500"); PopupWin.window.focus()
}
</script>
Then add this anywhere on your UBB to link to a popup Shoutbox: code:
[qb]<a href="javascript:PopupWindow('/path/to/ubb_shoutbox.cgi?s=iframe')">Shoutbox - Click here</a>

1) public_common.pl, sub MainButtonOptions 2) Did you remember to edit '/path/to/ubb_shoutbox.cgi?s=iframe' to your ubb_shoutbox.cgi path?

Okay, here's some slightly easier-to-understand instructions public_common.pl, find: code:
push(@items, qq(<a href="$ULTIMATEBB" title="$vars_wordlets{forum_acronym}">$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}</a>));
Add before: code:
[qb] # Shoutbox
push(@items, qq(<a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ubb_shoutbox.cgi" title="Shoutbox">Shoutbox</a>));

Perfect! This is what I call instructions for dummies. THANK YOU!
Could I ask more? LK must be sick of me now...:
Dont even blame him...
I want to place a Refresh function in the Reset button. I know how to change the name on the button but not the rest. Can you help?
Thank you.

Okay... Is the link text or an image? If it's text, use this general rule: # Short comment describing what the link is
push(@items, qq(<a href="URL to page" title="What you want to appear when the mouse is moved over the link">What you want to appear on the page</a>)); If it's an image... Reply, and I'll give you the code I use for my version of cosmetic links.

CMT, I just cant get the link on that button, I am so close, but still not there. Please have a look URL If you click on Chat you will see what I mean. By the way, how do I reduce the refresh interval to lets say 20-30 sec? I apreciate your help. Thank you

That would require editing of the Shoutbox code, I would suggest asking in LK's Shoutbox thread for that.
