| Don't shoot...something about shout boxes... posted on: 8/13/2004 2:09:48 PM ok, I've gone through some stuff to get a shout box done, but activetopic.com isn't working. Does anyone know why and is there another place to sign up to do the same thing?
TIA! |

activetopic closed down quite a long time ago....
there are many other places to get shoutboxes... I recomend you search google for some remotely hosted ones...

Thanks, I'll go take a look. I got the link for the 'how to' here and did not realize active link had shut down.

I don't know the full story of how, or even why they shut down, but i remember about a month before they actually did, they told everyone and put it on the bottom of the shoutbox's... Sooo... Not sure..

ok, last question and I'll stop with this (sowwy) exactly WHERE do you put the script for the shoutbox? I've got it, but it puts it up at the top of the page and its supposed to go to the left of the page. *Scratches head* I'm confused.

LOL its not supposed to go anywhere, do you have any HTML knowlege? if no... Then the concept of this may be a bit hard to grasp...
Follow the tutorial for a shoutbox in the help section, instead of the activetopic code, put the shoutbox script you have...
EDIT umm.... there is no shoutbox tutorial anymore.... hmmm
well just do this...
put this in your header
<table align="center" style="width:100%; border:0px;"> <tr> <td align="center"> <table align="left" style="width:30%; border:0px;"> <tr> <td align="center"> <!-- PUT YOUR SHOUTBOX SCRIPT HERE --> </td> </tr> </table> <table align="right" style="width:70%; border:0px;"> <tr> <td align="center">
now put this in your footer....
</td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>
Umm... i just typed this, so i'm not sure if it will work properly, try it out.. see if it does or does not work. 
btw, and where i put <!-- PUT YOUR SHOUTBOX SCRIPT HERE --> completely delete that, and put your script there..

It's in the Help File section, and I made it sticky now so it's always at the top.

I messaged him about editing the Activetopic stuff out so it doesn't confuse anyone in the future.
