First of all I am not the original author or the brains behind
this mod, I have just re-written it to be more easy to install and
more compatible with the latest version of snitz.

The original authors topic is Here
This has been tested on a clean install of Snitz Forum Version 3.4.05
with access database. The instructions included in the zip file are
based on a clean install, although it should be easy enough to
install on an already moded forum.

Shout Box Mod Files dbs_shoutbox.asp
inc_shoutbox.asp
shoutbox_entries.asp
shoutboxok1.gif

Files To Be Modified admin_config_features.asp
config.asp
default.asp

You can download the Shout Box V2.0 Mod Here
You can see a demo Here
You`ll need to log in to use the shoutbox...

I must admit I have never had the freezing issue with the shout box.

Hi, my shoutbox started acting up, after a certain number of shoutx it stops accepting new shouts (so I have to erase older shouts), but even so, some shouts disappears randomly.
This MOD worked fine for few months, now I am having this problem.
My forum is at: www.LuciferLegion.com in case you need to take a look.
I hope I can find a solution for this, and thanks for your help :)

I am having a problems with this mod, messages randomly disappear, you see a SS of the table: msgs from 23 to 65 are lost. This happened after I wrote a new msg.

Please don't double post, Macromax; you've already started a topic for your problem in the appropriate forum so please continue the discussion there.
Search is your friend “I was having a mildly paranoid day, mostly due to the
fact that the mad priest lady from over the river had
taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.”

Sorry for double posting. I fixed the problem of msgs disappearing, but now:

I reversed the order msgs get written: from top to bottom, but shoutbox keep auto scrolling down to bottom, how to fix it? I saw this question has already been asked few times, but wasn;t replied. Thanks

Ok fixed that too...

Response.Write "<script language=""javascript"">" & vbNewline & _
"function gotoBottom(){" & vbNewline & _
"window.scrollBy(0,1000);" & vbNewline & _
"}" & vbNewline & _
"window.onload = gotoBottom;" & vbNewline & _
"</script>" & vbNewline & _
"<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""60; URL=shoutbox_entries.asp"">"

Change:

"window.onload = gotoBottom;" & vbNewline & _

with

"window.onload = gotoTop;" & vbNewline & _

That won't fix anything, because the "gototop" hasn't been defined.
