SNEAK PEAK: Version 6.3 - Shoutbox Changes
Greetings Everyone,
In Version 6.3 the Shoutbox is receiving a bit of tweaking to make it look better and to fix the bug where a page refresh will double post the shout. The new shoutbox when in the middle section looks like this:
We've moved the Avatar to the right in both the middle display and the sidebar display. Having the avatar to the right allows the Avatar to show and add some personalization to the shout but it makes it easier for a person to visually scan and read the shouts themselves. In addition, we've removed the padding around the widget in both displays so that it takes up all of the usable space.
The new horizontal display also takes advantage of the additional horizontal room and displays the extra info about the shout on one line. We've also added some "quotes" to the shout for some visual demarcations of the beginning and end of the line and a more subtle line across the top of each shout instead of the small horizontal rule.
We've also changed the shoutbox to use Ajax for making the posts. So, no page refresh will occur and the issue with the shoutbox double posting on a page refresh is gone as well.
All in all the result is a more usable and nice looking shoutbox.

This has nothing to do with this post. Make a new thread for things like this please.
For The People is at http://forthepeople.guildlaunch.com/. If your browser doesn't bring that up then your computer has an issue. If that's not the right guild then ask them what their correct URL is.
If necronimicom were at http://necronimicom.guildlaunch.com then your browser would bring it up. Since it doesn't they must be at a different address. Maybe you can ask them what it is?
