is there a way to have user names instead of guest? also, is there an easy way to take this down without uninstalling it?

if you are logged in it shows your username as a link to your user profile

it only shows "guest" (or whatever you want anonymous names to be) if the person shouting is not logged in

you can take it down by simply removing the iframe code from your template file and then deleting the shoutbox_* files from your web server

thanks Dion. I was hoping there was simpler way to "turn off" the shout box. maybe next version or not, I really do not know much about how development works. but thanks for this, I've been hoping to find a shout box and will use this one...

How often does it check for new shouts?

every 2 seconds with ajax so its pretty much like a chatroom, and you can use it like a chat if you want

how does this effect server load? server space? bandwidth ?

the shouts are stored in a mysql database and are automatically removed once they reach a maximum amount (which you specify in the config file)

it is not server intensive, all it is doing is pulling a very tiny amount of information from the database on a persistant connection every 2 seconds

This looks nice, but doesn't this belongs in the "Chat Modifications" Section?

Secondly, does it has any special features? Such as ban capabilities, chat moderator abilities for specific users, removing posts, chat archive, etc.

otherwise people with no license for vbulletin can download it too.
