Psyched 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2004 I'm really not a fan of the shoutbox being at the top of the page. It takes too long to load, and pushes the actual Forum content to the bottom. I think it should be included just above the footer & copyright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becca 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2004 Yes but then nO one will see it...And it will keep moving on everypage due to the amount of posts there are...IT is stable at the top where it does not move because the posts are below it.Also it is in full view for all of the members and they can interact with each other easily. If it is at the bottom we will keep having to scroll down to get to it and it will be probably desserted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psyched 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2004 I'd thought of that. Maybe an option to disable it and the announcement box would be useful once a member has a hosting plan... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cragllo 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2004 You can diable it! there is a (-) in the top right corner, on every part off the forum acctuallly.Thay should also have a link to open the shoutbox in a new window, That would be useful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psyched 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2004 I mean, get rid of it altogether, it takes up too much space in any scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cragllo 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2004 Well, its better than nothing. You either love it or hate it, some people hate it, try board setting in your forum control panel... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No posts required!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You know what I am feeling a little generous I agree to moving the shoutbox... on one condition me and cragllo get to be admin... soo ahhh.... Right back atcha  Anyways it's fine where it is and well it doesnt look like you actually use it, so wouldn't it be better for those who use to decide whether THEY like it or not down there ? Your only thinking of the other half of trap which don't like it and not the other other half which do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2004 i dont think you should get rid of it or move it, it doesn't really slow down the site, and i think it's a really good way of quickly chatting to ppl, and it makes the site look active. in my opinion, the forum would be pretty boring without the shoutbox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cragllo 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2004 Like I said before....Have a link to open it in a pop-up, I can chat while surfin the net then, and wont have to wait for the whole page to load, just the shoubox! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frosty_Flakes2 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 yeah shoutbox is cool but takes forever to load i would suggest just taking it off and maby making the forums a different color Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spirit_valley 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2004 Until now I like the shoutbox... Moving it to the bottom is not good as we have to scroll down every time we want to see it.P.S. Thanks to frozensolid... You made me start to use the shoutbox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OpaQue 15 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 Its not the shoutbox and usually It loads in a snap .. It is basically the ads which probably slow up the loading. Try Firefox, It redefines surfing speed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
