How To Relocate Shoutbox?

[Former Member]

The only forum layout change I want is to place my shoutbox above my one category & its one board.
I would the shoutbox above the one category/board.
How do I accomplish this?
I want everything else to remain intact.

By default the shoutbox is in the Forum Wrapper:
Since you want it above the category and board, one would assume you also only want it on the main page? If so, continue to read..

Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper
On line 67 you should see $[shoutbox]
Highlight that, copy it to your clipboard, then erase it from the Forum Wrapper. Click save.
Now go to the Layout Templates again, but this time select Home instead of Forum Wrapper.

Add a new line just below line one, and ctrl+v (paste) your clipboard.
Now line 1 and line 2 should be the following:

$[news]
$[shoutbox]

Click save and voila.

Prior to seeing your answer,I spent a lot of time attempting to relocate the shoutbox. I almost succeeded. Your solution was a success. Thank you for helping me.
