I wouldn't know any alternatives off by heart, sorry.

Would you mind linking us to vBshout though? I'll take a look at the queries if you want me to, see if its true.

Link to vbshoutOne of the mods has even tried to put off members from installing by saying it increases server load...I think its an ajax issue. Im on a shared server and loads do get quite high sometimes..

I think one of the Vbhackers staff members could make a WAY better shout system then that. Maybe a request is in order? lol.

At the moment we're busy with some projects for this site. After that, I'll see what I can do.

We use a slightly modified version of THIS SHOUTBOX at our site (on the right)
It may not look as sexy, but certainly does the job and has admin/smilies etc.

Looks good. How did you integrate it, if you don't mind telling?

Just stuck it into a very simple iframe as a module (in vBAdvanced CMS)
I'll post detailed destructions when I get home from work later, and ask the coder that did the alterations if he'd mind me including his alterations.

Ok, thanks. I'll take a look at it aswell when I get home, see if I can integrate it with the vB skin entirely.
