Okay,
The Inferno Shout Pro Shotubox has been installed!
OzChess Member:
AO, How is this Shoutbox different from the last one or the one at Chesschat?
Arrogant-One:
This one is better than the last one (which was the free edition) and the one at Chesschat. This one cost OzChess $30
Chesschat's is freeware.
OzChess Member:
Really?
Arrogant-One:
Yes!
OzChess Member:
Okay, well how is it 'better'.
Arrogant-One:
In 3 ways members will appreciate and about 6 ways admins/mods will.
Firstly, lets start with the Smilies. You will notice a Smiley button in the Shoutbox. Click it and see what happens.
Secondly, you can now send Private Message from the new Shoutbox. Use this command:
/PM Username; Message
The Username is the person you want to message, and the Message is what you want your PM to say.
For instance, lets say I want to send Firegoat7 a Private Message, I would type:
/pm Firegoat7; Hey Dave, what are the bots complaining about on Chesschat today?
Thirdly, the Shoutbox is now exclusive. That is, for members only. The Shoutbox cannot be viewed by non-members. In the coming days Matt and I will discuss whether there will be a minimum post requirement for members to be able to view and use the shoutbox (ie. minimum 5 posts)
Fourthly, users can set the Shoutbox settings to ignore certain posters, that is not see shouts from certain annoying posters (not really relevant because OzChess doesn't have too many).
Fifthly, it now has an archive like Chesschat's primitive vbshout 2.0 shoutbox (which is such a high security risk that CC will surely be infiltrated/hacked someday because it uses that type of shoutbox).
You can access the archives by clicking the word 'Shoutbox' in the top centre of the Shoutbox
Any other questions please let me know. Thanks,
AO
