As a trial to see if it works here - we have added a Shoutbox at the bottom of the main page of the forum - not the Portal page with the piccies but the one that lists all the different sections and topics.

Up until now it didn't work but would appear that Zetaboards have resolved the issue so it's there for a wee bit of fun and banter.

It can only be seen by members and posted on by members who are logged in. (according to the selections I have ticked) but if you find otherwise please let me know!

Thanks for that! flors
It would be even better if it popped up and alerted us when someone 'shouts', in case we miss them. I suppose that's asking a bit much from the poor old software, though! Haven't see that on other boards either.

Me confused already! naegotscoobie

So, bearing in mind I am a techno-numpty, and I may well be missing something with the new stuff - is there anything that will show me which topics have new posts in them like it did before when I'm in to the main page? :unsure

Yes, I missed that too. I found it handy when just popping on for a quick update! (Especially while at work...) :A

I've seen them on other forums.

It's a box below the main page where you can write something for someone who's on the board at the same time (= give them a shout!), but it's visible to everyone.

It's a very basic tool, a bit like the chat function on Facebook, or MSN.

It needs no technical ability whatever! yaweedancer
