So there were a few complaints about how slow this website was responding.

Plain and simple really .. the shout box was auto refreshing every 20 seconds.

So a few changes (you've probably noticed already)

When you post in the shout box, it opens a new window, with the "auto refreshing" shout box in it.
The shout box on the rest of the sites grabs the last 5 lines from the chat, and displays it statically.

I've also increased the number of lines in the chat window .. now at 20

If people want to chat, they can open the chat window .. means the rest of the site will operate much better.

thank you....much better  ;D

Can you make the Bold/ larger txt words "Shout Box" into a link that opens new tab with shoutbox.. so to open and get more history you dont have to post something lame :)

Good idea ...

all done

Waiting for an answer .....

But back on topic .. on my Firefox, it just opens another tab, as in full screen. On your screen looked like it was an actual pop-up window.

I can't do anything about that.

in firefox preferences it says "Open new links in a new Tab"

Nothing I can do about that.

best you can do is right-click, open in new window

waiting for answer for what?

I thought it would just be a matter of putting some petrol in the tank and firing it up.
But I handnt considered firefox for keeping the grass down :)

Topic ... Bank popup is a new window with no menu bar up the top.

Tis not opening a new anything now.
This is not an improvement. Now need to right click "Open in new tab"

the code is:
<a href="/shout.php" target="chatWindow">Shout Box</a>

that means:
Open shout.php in a window called "chatWindow"

if its not working then you've been playing with your browser settings :P

I reckon you should make it sexier looking. I'll have a browse on the webs and see i i can find a nice example
