Welcome to the Shoutbox!

The Shoutbox allows you to send and receive instant messages. Here's how to use it:

Sending a Message

Type your message in the text input field and click the Send button (with the paper plane icon) to post it. You can also use the following keyboard shortcuts:
```
Press [Enter] to send
[Shift] + [Enter] to add a line break
Bold (CTRL+B)
Italic (CTRL+I)
Underline (CTRL+U)
```
Messages Display Order

Latest messages are displayed at the top while older messages are displayed at the bottom.

Message Length

Messages have a maximum length of 1000 characters. If your message exceeds this length, you will be prompted to shorten it before sending.

Viewing Older and Newer Messages

Scroll to the top to view older messages, or to the bottom to view newer ones. These actions trigger on-demand requests, so they won't be affected by the polling frequency discussed below.

Message Updates

New messages are fetched automatically based on a polling frequency of 30 seconds and will appear shortly thereafter.

Flood Protection

To avoid spamming, you must wait 5 seconds before sending another message. Please be patient!

User Permissions

You may need to log in to view and/or send messages. Admins may have configured which usergroups can view and send messages.

Shoutbox Etiquette

Be respectful and follow the community rules. Inappropriate behavior may result in a warning or ban.

Pruning Old Messages

Messages older than 500 day(s) will be automatically deleted to keep the Shoutbox clean, organized, and free from clutter.

Resizing the Message Input

The Message input automatically grows as you type. But you can also manually resize the message input box vertically to fit your needs. Simply drag the bottom-right corner of the input area to expand or shrink the box. This allows you to type longer messages more comfortably.

Need Help?

If you're having trouble, please reach out to an admin for assistance.

The Banner looks very good.
Dierk Bauer 07-05-26, 09:56 AM

Thanks a lot Derek
Derek 07-05-26, 07:02 AM

Good morning Dierk, Looks ok to me well done. We certainly don't need ads unless we need the cash for running the site. I would put it on our Facebook group. best regardsDerek
Dierk Bauer 07-05-26, 06:55 AM

Good mornning all, wishing you a pleasant day Am sorry, but couldn`t reach Adnan, so tried my luck again... what do you think can be done better? The headbanner can be inserted as image file only, one can add one or two advertisments too, but that is not our intention to make money out of the hobby of our members... Can we show it to our members in the Facebook group too...guess most of our members still "floating" around there ... Best wishes from Hamburg, stay Healthy, safe and take care
Dierk Bauer 06-05-26, 09:49 PM
