Hi,

The Shout Box has launched (in case you missed it).

Would welcome feedback. My initial thoughts - should it be in a pop-up window instead?

Fire away...

Perhaps there could be a "hide" option, and a way to make it open a new window? So people could choose?

Think it's easier if I just list all mine briefly and add the last one I see, then delete the above posts.

-Agree that a hide option is more desirable than a popup.

-Would like to see word wrap in the area we read rather than horizontal scroll, for those of us with bigger fonts set in our browser... larger screens, bad eyes, etc.

-Would like to see a longer charactor limit as per how much we can type.  word wrap will solve the current limitation of this as well.

-For Trolls, suggest that its better to implement that the shoutbox isn't visible to people not logged in, or that if it is, they can't read it and must create an account... and thus have their IP logged.

-Would like to see time stamps on messages so we don't reply to what was there yesterday.

Bugs noticed:

BB tag buttons do not work.  It creates the tag and immediately posts the tags empty.  If something is highlighted, then a button is pushed the tag is put at the end, instead of around something, and the message is then immediatly posted, so tag buttons are not working.
The tags themselves do work as long as they are typed out manually.
This does not apply to smileys... they work just fine when clicking.

Hitting enter more than once on accident creates a double post in the shoutbox, and even a triple post on one occasion.  Maybe a 1/4 second sleep between the ability to post by a given user would solve this...?

Maybe if we can get rid of this text below the buttons:
"Hover over selected items to see their description."
since its not really needed for most people anymore, and would create an extra line of readable space... for when more than 2 people use it.

LB make sure you type in between the tags.

I agree with everything MD said!

Can we move the smilies to the top? I keep thinking they're a message.

Is this SB auto refresh?

I reckon it's because of current work being done, but I just logged in and can only see the shoutbox, this section (prior to a refresh it was another one) and the logo and new posts at the top of the front page.

Good luck with the hacking and debugging

I say it's grossly impractical. Not to mention bug ridden.
