I'd like to see it in all pages, as it gets pretty quiet when everybody is elsewhere posting or playing. Also we tend to miss shouts when it is not visible.

If it becomes a problem with somebody they can always close it by clicking the minus (-) box on the corner.

i agree with you although clicking on the minus [-] sign doesn't stop the queries provoked, or the delay

oh, if it becomes an issue of resources and response time then perhaps you should leave it by default on the first page and give users the option to turn it on other pages. Not everybody will take up that option since not everybody wants to chat on the shoutbox.

I don't like it on every page. It's slowing down the loading time (i usu open about 7-8 windows at the same time) and i have no hots for it anyway.

It would be nice if it was on every page, because I never see what is happening there unless I click back to it, which is rarely. But, if it is slowing the loading, we need faster upload, or back to the way it was plus.smilie3.gif ize.shuriken.gif

I like it in every page cause you can post and shout at the same time.
Maybe it's slow, but it's preferable that way, rather than waiting someone to answer your shout. Or shout, post, go back chech if your shout has been answered, post again, then go back again and check your shout, etc. It's quite annoying.
So, by my opinion shoutbox must be everywhere default.wink.gif default.tongue.gif

I voted forum index veiw only. Also the auto refresh is a culprit on slowing down a site, say with 10 or more members auto refreshing kicks up the server resources. My opinion.
