Thanks to the alpha testers - Allen, Chris, Dave2 and Chuck!

wheeee!!

thanks LK

You the best LK

Have it working at www.nakkc.org via SSI , working great so far...! thanks LK!

So far, Allen, Chris and Dave2 use iframe, Chuck uses javascript and raichu uses ssi... need more testers for JS...

Any differences between my version and this one?

Where is your version?

Hey LK,

I just installed it on my board, made it integrate with the summary layout. I love this mod, very cool, thanks.

Check it out, Ford Escort Online , still fine tuning it, but looks good so far.

Lemme know if it's ok to modify it like I did, don't wanna infringe any "copyrights"

Dave2, I don't think there is anything major, but you should use Beyond Compare.

Welcome auto I suggest you to use IFRAME if you have a problem with the size but want to show more messages. Then the users can scroll down the little iframe, and it won't affect the rest of the board. Check UBBDev's code @ www.ubbdev.com or Dave's code @ http://www.aagames.co.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi to see how you can use <ifr ame> tag.

BTW, nice site

Im using ssi on the news site, and the JS version on the board to test...

Would be nice, like in the latest news, different post layouts. Like on the messageboard instead of the acron of the whole time stamp, to have an option to make it show on the wall.
Its a great utility to shout for my users to get online to raid, and a datestamp there would be great

Thanks LK,

I am using iframe, and in the iframe I'm using frames to have the submit button always visible. I just had to set the target in the bottom frame.

The reason I don't want it to scroll is that the new messages will always be outside the box and I want to show the latest messages first, I know there's the option in the script to go in 2 directions but it always shows the old messages first then. So I decided to set the max to 5 messages, I would like to set it higher though.

Or did I miss something and can it show new first?

Thanks,

Marc

Yay, I've been looking forward to a final for this

Thanks LK

how do I get rid of the horizontal scroll?

Maybe use JavaScript instead of iframe, and limit number of shouts to 10 or so... Then it won't get too big, but won't show a scrollbar.

hmm, it's not recognizing the limit of 10

the horizontal scroll bar was due to an extra-long name I have the shouts limited to 3 right now, no change in number shown tho

It doesn't like the MD5 in 6.4

Fixed in my local copy, lemme know if you need it

yes please, we be broke now
