Shout Box

[richbonnie220]

The shout box is a great addition to the site but the refresh rate is about 7 seconds and if you are trying to read an old post ,you have to be a fast reader because when it refreshes,it goes to the newest post,which may be 6 hours old. Then you have to slide the bar down to where you left off.It was working well a few days ago after it was shut down for tweeks but since then....I wonder if anyone else has this problem.Sometimes there is good info/gossip there and I cant be chained to this laptop 24/7!Any sugestions?

When the shoutbox refreshes for me, it jumps back to the place I last was in the scroll. (does that make any sense?) In other words, it takes me back to where I was last before the refresh.

for me it goes back to the newest post.a couple days ago it was doing like you said but its back to refreshing to the last post.I use IE most of the time.U think it might be that?

Possible, I suppose. I rarely use IE for anything, only Firefox or Opera.

I havent changed anything with the chat itself when it went down for updates. I simply added a feature to block IP/username. I didnt change the refresh rate at all.
