Is it possible to have our "Shout Box" above the "Legend, Forum Information & Statistics"?

Thanks.

Hi,

Well, then how? 

[Michael]

You'll want to add the $[shoutbox] variable to your "Home" layout template above the line {if $[show_stats]}

You now have two shout boxes showing on your board?

Do you want the shoutbox on all pages or just the home page?

If just the home page, then remove $[shoutbox] from the Forum Wrapper template (and leave it where Michael told you in the Home template).

If you want it on other pages as well, then in addition to the instructions above, go to the Board layout template and add the variable $[shoutbox] above these lines:

{if $[thread_count] > 0}
{if $[legend]}
