Hey!

If you scroll down at the bottom of the box, you should see where you can type a shout. )

I just don't really like the shoutbox. It seems like a very basic form of a chat room...would prefer a small ROOM where we can all go when we are online to chat!

im not liking it either dammit LoL since it doesnt work for me

Yeah, I don't like the shoutbox either. It's like one of those bathrooms where you write crap on the stalls like "Call 1-800-BJ for a good time."

Or maybe I'm just a party pooper.

I was just playin around i like the idea of the shoutbox i just wish it worked for me
I think it was so nice of bjarne to take the time & put it up for us
ooooh how i wish it would work for me though LoL ack

 

[Lost in the Oilfield]

hmmmmmm how does it not work?
I know at the start I didn't realize there was a tiny little link at the top of this page, where it says: Welcome back, Lost in the Oilfield... and has the links to View New Posts | View Today's Posts | Private Messages... its on the far right side under the date and time... maybe that's what you got lost on too???
Hope that helps New.

oh do you have something that blocks popups turned on? The shoutbox is a popup window.

oh no u know i can get the shoutbox but then i just have no line thingy where u would type in its so weird

 

[Lost in the Oilfield]

hmmm, have u tried making the popup window full screen and scrolling to the very bottom?

If you just scroll to the bottom and the last shout you can see is...

<Lost in the Oilfield> People usually end up telling me all the depressing news anyway [ Edit ] [ Delete ]
Pages (6): « First [1] 2 3 4 5 Next > Last »

And there is absolutely nothing below that then maybe send a pm to Bjarne... he'd probably have a better understanding of the shoutbox.php and any problems that could be stopping it from showing up for you (I haven't learned much beyond html and a few javascript goodies ).

Hi NewBirth

It's just a thought, but make sure that you are logged into the forum, then scroll down to the bottom of the shoutbox, where it says add shout.
Maybe that might work.

What I don't understand is why aren't the newest posts on top and the older ones toward the bottom?
