In case anyone is interested,we now have a Shout Box. It's on the bottom of every page,on the left side.
If it gets any use,I'll leave it up.It probably won't get much right now,but if we grow,it might someday.
If it really annoys the hell out of anyone,let me know.We'll put it to a vote whether or not to kill it.
Thanks, Bruce

Hey Bruce,
Can the shout box thing be put at the top of the page? Then we wouldnt have to scroll to the bottom to see if we're being shouted at. Just a thought......

Ha! Ha! Ron,I'm in the same boat as you.I type with one finger and my thumb. I can't keep up with a chatbox either,but I know lots of people like this feature on a forum,so I thought ,what the hell,it's free.
Graeme, I put it at the bottom so it wouldn't move the whole forum down 4 inches(10 cm).If people are going to use it,Iwill put it at the top,if everyone wants it there.
Or,I can create a little side panel,and put it on the side,but that will make the forum thinner.Maybe we'll try that,and see what it looks like.
Or,I can create a completely separate "chat room" with a little icon to access it.It would be a lot bigger.But I kind of like the open box format better.You can see what's going on without switching to another page.
Since we are all in such disparate time zones,I really didn't think it would see much use for a while.
By the way,where I am now,the box doesn't work for me,so if I don't answer a shout,I'm not being rude,I just don't see it.
Cheers! Bruce
