The Shoutbox is an integrated live, instant messaging chat room for your forum. Since the Shoutbox is not designed as a permanent means of posting messages, shouts are not archived. However participants will be able to view up to 20 of the most recent shouts.
The Shoutbox displayed in the admin panel is the same live Shoutbox that is displayed on your forum, with the exception that 200 of the most recent shouts are shown allowing for you to review the shouts.
To enable the forum's shoutbox, visit the admin panel and enter the Settings section. Select Forum Settings from the following menu. Select the Shoutbox tab on the next page.
Under the Settings heading are several options to change how your shoutbox appears and functions.
Any changes made in this area are automatically saved.
The Shoutbox Preview and Management area shows the current appearance of your shoutbox and allows content moderation via editing or deleting shouts.
To edit an existing shout, hover your cursor over it and an Edit link will appear. Click this link and type your replacement message into the reply area, then submit the message.
To delete an existing shout, click on the x next to it. Deleted shouts cannot be recovered.
