    Question Shoutbox

    Hello,

    This is not a major gripe. Maybe me being nosey; but i have noticed the shoutbox has an idle. I cannot see what other people are writing and talkig about. It may be done for security reasons? im not sure.. Has anyone else noticed this?

    thanks

    Can we make it so we can detatch it is like an IRC window. Find it a pain to only have 6 lines and have to keep clicking on the homepage...!

    Did you know...

    You can have private chats with members in the shoutbox?

    Click on there username (within the shoutbox) and a new tab will open, which allows you to have a convesation with that person only.

    Neat stuff

    I'm trying to work out how to start a convo with someone who hasn't "shouted" so watch this space...

    Oh nifty!

    I thought that was to block certain people!

    Just click on the "Make me unidle link"

    Voila

    Everytime you look at a new post, or go anywhere other than the main DF page you'll become idle
