Hi guys, just wanted to do a small write up on how to change the settings in chatbox! There are a few ways to get to the chatbox settings:

1)Go here and click on Options9593971563f43fa08b7fb8d6a1f8e5bb.png

2)Go into your Settings 101b4f143c7fbf0bd3390f93d96f4788.png --> Click on Shoutbox Settings.

Most everything in here is self explanitory, but I want to bring your attention to this specific area:

Shout Area Location - This is where you can set the actually text field where you type messages in chatbox. If set to Above Shouts, it will be like the older chatbox (As I have in the pictures above)

Shoutbox Size - Changing this changes how big the actually chatbox is (see my above images). Leaving it as 0 is basically the same size as the older chatbox, but I found 256 to be a good number - as I spend alot of time in the chatbox

 

As far is the lower section - I have no idea what this does, not sure how to use it! Maybe @XeNo can shed some light on this!

Some of those chat tabs are not enabled, but basically, the base chat tab ('Shoutbox') is position 1. Those other chat tabs you can re-order given the number you wish them to be in. However, since the others are not enabled, there's no real point to them.

 

Edit:

 

Good job putting tag notifications to use! I honestly probably would not have seen this thread for another day or two otherwise. Haha.

tip. 350 makes the CB large enough to not have a scroll bar normally but if anyone uses an emoticon it brings the scroll back. if you use 400 it gives it enough buffer space for that

I was actually looking for that option. Thank you. Everyone's shitty font and color choices made the chatbox look like a mess.

 

 

 

Now how do I make it so new messages appear at the top?

 

This is not possible(afaik) unless it can be changed behind the scenes
