Shout BoxShout Box is a quick "chat" type of communicator that lets you "shout out" to the BB and have live conversations with those who are logged in. The SB stores only the last 30 messages, and then they are gone forever. Users can delete their own shouts using the [x] button next to their name. Mods can delete any/all shouts. You can see when a shout was posted by hovering over the message. UBB Code does NOT work in Shout Box, so you cannot bold or italics, add images, etc. You can use the standard smilies by using the keyboard shortcuts for those smilies. You can find out the keyboard shortcuts for all the smilies by looking at the Smilie box ( ) in any text formatting window. For instance, : + ) = or : + cool + : = (no spaces. I'll add a separate FAQ on how to use Smilies later). You cannot use any other image links. The same rules apply in Shout Box as they do in your posts. Watch the excessive language! Shout Box (like most anything else) works best with the Firefox browser, but is usable (like most anything else, barely) with IE. NEW FEATURE WITH SOFTWARE VERSION 7.3:If you start a message with /me it'll display it as an action you're performing (just like in IRC) So typing: /me slaps Blibble around Would display boldly as: *jgeoff slaps Blibble around

I don't know if this counts as a "Shout Box" question, or if it's a Firefox issue or what... but I'll ask it here anyway.
A lot of times (not always, but often enough), when I get on the BB, or when I click on a thread, or whatever, once it loads, the Shout Box will take up the bigger part of the page, and the actual posts will be in a little column on the right side. I have to click "Refresh" for it to get back to normal.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is it just a Mozilla thing? Or maybe even the other Firefox users don't experience this... is it just me? Is there anything that can be done about it?
Thanks!

Sometimes that side of the page loads in before the main section -- let me know if the page actually stops loading altogether and still looks like that. I've seen it look like that for a second, but never noticed it "finishing" like that. I use Firefox 2.0, and it's been fine for me. Or are you just impatient?

I just got home now, but it's working for me... guess you didn't break it after all -- give it another shot.

Have you tried the usual stuff - restart the browser / clear browser cache / clear cookies / reboot? (not necessarily all those at once)

Tools > Internet Options > Temporary Internet Files (empty it) Restart browser Then try clearing "My Cookies" at bottom of this page, log back in Then try rebooting I suppose. But hurry, I gotta leave soon!

If you don't have an aversion to it, I'd like to see you try Firefox... you may end up liking it better, too!

BTW, there's a new Shoutbox feature:
If you start a message with /me it'll display it as an action you're performing (just like in IRC)
So typing: /me slaps Blibble around Would display boldly as: *jgeoff slaps Blibble around
