My suggestion is that we need an inbuilt shout box. (can be turned on/off) and in edit user groups thr can be features like "user can view shoutbox" and "user can shout in shoutbox"


Just incase some ppl dont know what a shoutbox is, it's a small chat box at the top of the forum.

Not needed...

Install a mod for example D-23 ShoutBox, this will be better...

One word: No.

I'd have to say "No" as well... and here's why:

A shout box is generally geared towards younger folks (I refer to them as the MySpace era). I can't lay an age as to what construes "younger folks", but I'd wager that the majority of folks who can afford and use IPB would be off put by a shout box.

Fortunately, as has been mentioned, it is available as a free modification and is easily installed. ;)

Hate those things so I would have to say no.

No for me as well. It would make my site look unprofessional and as mentioned it's an easy matter to install a simple mod.

I vote no also.

lol wat about a free mod? ;)

It defeats the purpose of having FORUMS.

...not in my view... <_<

They already posted that Dean made a free modification called D-23 Shoutbox

where can I find it?

IPSBeyond?

ok thx. :)

It'd be good for some situations, but not as a standard feature. I'd have to agree with everyone here and say no.

I can't find it on IPBBeyond
