    occasionally, and it has been happening more recently, I can type into the shoutbox, but I can't actually "shout" it. I can press enter, press shout all I want, but nothing appears. What should I do?

    i don't think so, they never appear in the first place, and the text stays in the input box

    no, because the window did not appear reminding me of flood control

    Its defiantly not flood control, but it seems to of only happened to me after doing a few /me functions recently. It never happened to me on my first one. Although I don't use a lot of /me so that might just be because of how the odds of it happening work.

    ok i've noticed something with the /me shouts. They cannot have 's in them.

    like:

    /me thinks i'm going to blow.
    /me slaps the shit outta' him.
    /me thinks there's something in the kitchen.

    yeah. so no '. Something I found out. If it happens, check what you're shouting for the ' and remove/edit it.
