Well considering the fact that I didn't even put the current shoutbox in... it's not something I'm equipped to handle. >.> And ya know, Pinata, for someone who doesn't believe in monogamy, you sure do spend a lot of your time pining after one person...

It's really not particularly hard. Just gotta find a new service, take the code they spit for ya', and swap it for the code for this one.
Who did put it in, though? I can't remember...
Edit: Actually, it might be possible to just change the setting for the current one, if you can log into the account for it. I don't know.

I think it was Vincent who put it in... so I don't even know how to get into the account for it. But if you know how to do this stuff, tell me what administrative access you need to swap it out and I'll give it to you, Novalynn. I seriously don't know crap about this.

The Proboards code should be easy enough to modify. If you don't have the account data for this shoutbox, it's easy enough to make a new account and give it a larger text field... I think 250 letters is the max for myshoutbox.com

On another site I used to hang around, they use CBox, and it seems decently sized. Or you could set up a new one with MyShoutBox, I know on the site they claim to be easy and not require and coding knowledge.
I'm willing to do it for you if you really want, but it really is very simple. Whatever site you use should give you an automated code that you just have to copy and paste. I'm pretty sure the one now is in the global footer, and when I took a peek at the source code, it stated the beginning and ending of the shoutbox code very clearly, and it was super-short. It's just a matter of removing it and putting the other in it's place.
If you still want me to do it though, I'd just need whatever would give me access to the global footer. I'd also rather the shoutbox be made in your name (with your email, ect), if that'd be alright with you. I'm pretty sure you could do it yourself, though.

Hey Kait, www.yellbox.com/register/255 character limit. Nova, the shoutbox on Haven currently IS from Myshoutbox.com and it has a 100 character limit.

I know it's MyShoutBox, hence why I said new one. I don't have one, so I'm not sure what the actual max is.
Yellbox sounds better than CBox though, Cbox has a max limit of 200 on the free ones (can be set to 100 as well). There's also ShoutMix, but I don't know their max limit, never bothered to check.
On another note that somewhat related, I recently discovered that phpBB doesn't particularly like outside start/end stuff in its coding. That doesn't really matter here though, because Proboards isn't phpBB, and seems to handle them just fine.

MyShoutBox can be switched to 250 easily enough.

Well considering the fact that I didn't even put the current shoutbox in... it's not something I'm equipped to handle. >.> Similar to the situation on my site. Somebody else put the saybox in, then she disappeared into thin air. And no, I don't know Saybox's character limit... just that it's a service that's not been mentioned yet. You probably don't want it here, though... it's very advertising-oriented, I've been meaning to remove mine and look into another chat service for a while now and am actually reading this thread for recommendations. That's exactly the problem, though... it's not just one person. Sure, I love you too much to stop pining after you... but there are a couple of other girls at that level too, and several dozen others I want to sleep with but don't necessarily have any significant emotional attachment to. It's not even a matter of not believing in monogamy with me (although I don't), it's more a matter of being both physically and emotionally incapable of it.

I'ma avoid commenting on pinata's personal life and just say, I was just thinking, maybe we should try something other than MyShoutBox. Y'know, something that might glitch out and have downtime a little less. <.<

You don't really have to comment Nova. We know exactly what you want to comment!
