Title: Shout box
Post by: Anne Bonney on January 22, 2008, 11:27:21 AM

How do I get to that when logged in?  I see it and can post to it if I'm not logged in, but don't see it when I do log in.

Perhaps it depends on what theme you are using? I'm still on the default theme, and I see it whether I'm logged in or not.

Or perhaps a cookie situation again...

There's a little 'plus' sign in the upper right....try that.

Thanks guys.  Guess it was just the theme.  Duh.  I never did see the 'plus' sign though.

The +/- button is right after the date in the upper righthand corner. That'll expand out or hide away the shoutbox.

Which theme were you using that gave you difficulty?  Might be useful for others to know... or for an Admin to know, in case the theme can be adjusted.

Blue Ace, I think?


Still not seeing the +/-.

It's directly underneath the last "M" in "simple machines forum." It may look like a design element rather than an obvious button. Pass your mouse over it.

Still not there.  I see it when I'm anon, but not when I am logged in.  No "simple machines forum" either when logged in.

No rush on my account.  I usually log in so it doesn't really matter.  Thanks tho.
