We will be switching to a new shout box sometime this week when I have time to implement it. It is more robust than the one we are using currently, including:
- Rooms
- Dedicated guest room with nickname support
- Archive with search criteria
- Top chatters page
- Private conversations
- Sound, desktop & browser tab notification
- Global user commands (21 commands that you can manage and you can also add you own custom commands)
- Custom user commands (Can be used to set predefined messages/responses via command)
- User settings
- User status
- User group permissions
- User sanctions (Mute/Kick/Ban)
- User image uploads
- Style properties
- Lots of admin options to enable/disable certain features
- Bot notifications for new threads, new posts, new users, new Resource Manager resources, new Media Gallery albums/media/comments
- Bot responses that can be trigger by predefined keywords
- Bot messages that are posted automatically at set time/date
- Display notices in rotation (can be edited via the built in rich text editor)
- Display ads in rotation
- Set chat rules page
- Rooms widget
- Top chatters widget
- Active users widget
