Rich Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 You should notice at the top of the forum is a shoutbox, which is to be used for general chit-chat If you don't want to view it you can hide it by clicking the red - (dash) in the right hand corner. You can also change a few of the preferences by clicking 'My Prefs' Please don't abuse it and keep it clean :bananapopcorn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 What's the difference between this and the lounge :bananapopcorn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 What's the difference between this and the lounge :bananapopcorn: You don't have to start a thread! It's just for general chit-chat to say hi, ask how you are etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Also, between the 'Arcade' and 'Calender' buttons at the top is a shoutbox one...this will open it so it fills the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I think the novelty of the shoutbox has worn off, it doesn't seem to get used much now so I've set it to only show on the forum home page. Who minimises it as well, maybe that's why it doesn't get many replies...have a vote please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I could never see the point of it anyhow, if you want to say hello just use the PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 So you're going to PM all the regular members to say hello! The whole point of it is to post a quick message about something without starting a thread, abit like posting a status on facebook, even though I don't I use it!

rooflessdriver Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Didn't know you could minimize it! But I have now. I tend to use the mousewheel a lot to scroll, and quite often I found I was scrolling down the shoutbox, rather than down the forum to topics.

I tend to use the mousewheel a lot to scroll, and quite often I found I was scrolling down the shoutbox, rather than down the forum to topics. Just remember to scroll to the side of it! The reason I have changed it from being displayed on all forums to just the home page is cos I thought members may not want it in their face all the time. So choose recent topics, a specific forum or thread and it won't be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
