It uses UBB smilies, ubbcode, member database. Registered uses have their nicks, unregistered - "". (it's used in an iframe or javascript, not in the UBB)

So.. what do you think? any idea for a change?

Thanks allen for the suggestion, thanks JustDave for implenting it for UBBt.

That's what I said - that it's thru another page, not UBB. However, you can't use SSI - you'll have to use IFrame or JavaScript (javascript would make it look just like if it was SSI)

Oh, yeah, sorry. Didn't read your post thoroughly enough. ^_^;;

[EDIT: Dang, you edit your messages too quickly. tipsy I guess most people would use JS, cause (1) It looks like it's integrated into the page and (2) You've got to have JS enabled to use UBB anyway... Though an IFrame does actually make it look like a ShoutBox... Uhh, never mind me, I'm just spilling my thoughts. tipsy ]

Did something very simular but integrated it with the 404, 505, etc pages...

http://www.hostboard.com/nothing.html

What you did is reminisent of what we used to call a graffiti wall back in the old BBS days. It is interesting how all the old stuff seems to re-emurge smile

Brett, ultbb?ubb=x makes it much slower - it's good only if you have to make it really integrated inside the UBB - with all variables, files, etc... Also if you use SSI/IFrame/JavaScript include, you shouldn't use ?ubb=x because if the board is off it shows you the "board is closed" message; it updates cookies (like new posts/old posts); it's much slower.

Steve, good idea tipsy

Anyhow, I'm done with what I planned for Shoutbox, but I still need ideas. tipsy

Brilliant LK, nice work. smile

I suggest doing something like the vB Version, put the last shout on the main page. (Like a cat box)

Just a thought..

I don't know what's the "vB version", so I don't know where can it be in the front page tipsy But anyhow, you can just use the javascript in header/footer

It's not ready yet (for example I updated it 5 minutes ago) yet it's probably gonna be released soon. We might also add it to UBB.portal as it's a standalone (doesn't touch any UBB files).

BTW, I give beta versions to whomever wants them, but beware, the versions are buggy and incomplete... tipsy

It uses just what you see. for example, every time someone visits ubbdev main page, it takes ~18kb. not a lot tipsy
