    The Shout Box is great, but the negative thing about it, it's that when someone type in something, you need to click a page in the forum to see the comment. Why not make it, when someone clicked the "Shout" button, the message appears within seconds, I think that would more helpful for communications. That's my idea.

    Edited : Yes I mean the auto-refresh(Didn't knew it was that).

    Thats how it was, but it uses way too much bandwith for it to refresh constantly. And we're already having lots of problems with that and lag. Just hit the refresh button on the box, or if that doesn't work, refresh your browser. No big deal really...

    Yes, I know hitting the refresh button would work but you know, I am too lazy =D And to me, it's pretty boring to kept clicking the refresh button or the internet browser again to see another message.

    I fail to see how pressing F5 is to much trouble. You said it yourself, "I am too lazy". I don't think we would make changes because someone is just pure lazy. A majority of the board are finding it very easy to use the shoutbox.

    Auto-refresh not only consumes bandwidth, it's buggy and makes manual refresh don't work well.

    If you're browsing on the forum, you're already refreshing the box, so whats the problem? And also every time you shout you refresh. So... really this is onyl a problem if you just stay at one page all the time and only focus at the shoubox... in which case you just need to click refresh.
