Thats the absolute path to your forum eg: d: /server/etc/etc/forum no "/" at the end. Thank you for tring to help.

PS: I tested your script on my own it works BUT... you have to go into vbadvanced options and add Shoutbox (without the $) in the global variable section works like a charm. Your the man thank you so much for this.

The only problem we cant resolve is pages not loading in photopost vbgallery everything else works.

Small note for the vbadvanced users who use this... If you add Shoutbox in the global variable option do NOT add $Shoutbox in the adv_portal template or your shoutbox will come up twice. Everything in the variable option will output automtically to all pages unless specificed in the page option settings.

Best way to achieve a global template is to just add $Shoutbox in the navbar template (if you had a custom one like me), if you only want members to see it use an <if> member permission wrapper. You STILL need to add the Shoutbox variable to VBA or it won't work, thats what threw me off totally when I asked for advice here.

EDIT: Lovely forum what's this skin called?
