The version I had installed appears to have been an older one. Although it's kind of weird, it looked like it had actually regressed to Jalenack's original 1.16 version, for some reason. I'm sure I was running a 3.something version before the Wordpress update. Very odd. Oh well, it's working now. I've set the refresh time to be a bit higher (30 seconds) so that I don't have to worry so much about leaving the page open at work. (why does Curt hit his site every 10 seconds?). I've also increased it's message display up to 50. I was happy to see it appear as a Widget again, though it's still got some minor issues like having to edit a PHP file to get rid of the border. This is a bother because every time I update I have to make sure to remember to port over that change. Also, it still doesn't appear in Wordpress' repository of plugins, which means that it likely won't be able to update itself. I guess we'll just have to wait and see on that last one. Still, I would much prefer a more elegant solution, but I guess if a shoutbox is what people want, then this is the best they're getting. There we go.

I can try again if everyone's so desperate for a shoutbox. I would much prefer a better shoutbox than that, but it appears that it's pretty much the only Wordpress one in existence, which to me is pretty telling.

It was updated March 17th, 2008. http://pierre.sudarovich.free.fr/index.php/page/2/ If this is the version you are using then let me know what the problem is and I can help. I feel lost without the shoutbox. I am not sure if you are aware but the creator of the shoutbox stopped development and it changed hands.

However I miss the shoutbox already. :( Goodluck on the redesign. I know its a personal thing, but if you need anything let me know. The site backend looks great.
