Hi Ladydi1, 

You'll need to go into your forum wrapper template (Admin> Themes> Layout Templates>Forum Wrapper) and find this: $[shoutbox] It'll be near the bottom of the template. Then it is just a matter of moving it to where you want it.  Some say top but may mean below the banner/menu or elsewhere but if you really want it at the very top, you'd add it right below this:

<div id="wrapper">
$[shoutbox]

I tried it and that took away the shout box completely?! So can you explain in more detail?

Did you move it back to the bottom, as it is showing at the bottom of the forum at the moment.

- You will need to open up your Forum Wrapper template which can be found - admin > themes > layout templates > forum wrapper
- Next, search for the tag $[shoutbox] which you should find towards the bottom, and remove it.
- Towards the top, look for the line with <div id="wrapper"> and immediately below that put $[shoutbox]

Give it a go, and any problems, let us know

You are phenomenal! Thank you so much!

@ladydi1, were you able to implement the instructions provided by Craig?

Never mind, I see in another thread you moved it to the sidebar.

In the future it would have been ok to append this thread with wanting to move the shoutbox to a different location / or at least post here that this issue is no longer needing to be addressed. I was chasing this shoutbox question across three different threads.

Yes, Craig helped me immediately with the issues. Very impressive and in the right position for sure.
