The shout box updates when a thread is replied to.
Can you show me an example of a thread that links to another thread? Sounds like someone just linking to some information already on here.
*moving this thread to Website Troubleshooting*
my shout box is not updating unless i move to anouther area of site and back.
I have just left it 10 minuits and it was same as before but when return to forum 2/ 3 seconds later it refreshes with loads of new replys. This is same on my home laptop and at work on desktop.
Any ideas?

Ensure you don't have any sort of ad-blocker blocking javascript after clearing your cache/cookies and logging back in.
It's an issue only affecting yourself from what I understand so it's very likely to be a local issue.
Ok will try that but it is happening at home on my laptop and at work on company computer.

That's exactly as it should function. I'm confused as to what problem you're having with this sorry..
On topic, my shout box rapidly refreshes then appears blank on mobile, any way I can sort this? I'm using a Sony z1 if that's any help
I just dropped the toilet seat on my testicles... getting old and dangly has its drawbacks
Erm?
this!!
do you also experience this issue?
ok cleared the history logged back in but still the Shout box is not updating. It did work ok when first used on Saturday as I became full member. Not to much ofproblem but just interested more than anything.
Thought so but at the time of starting the thread some of the items in Shout box did not have the red text to go to the thread. Just tried it again and it seems ok tonight but still not auto updating.
My non expert question - have you tried another browser? Just to see if the same thing happens?
I keep up to date via the quick links menu at the top, then drop down to 'todays posts'
Sometimes a thread will have been moved eg spam, but this would just bring up an error page as you won't be able to access where it has gone.
The only other time text is black in the box is when it is a comment from one of the members chatting to others, like instant chat.
Yes at home the browser is Crome and at work internet explorer 8.
Unfortunately the plugin for shoutbox isn't designed for mobile browsers.
No way to fix this I'm afraid.
sub-note: fancy updating your sig to save me the job?
Hi Dangerousfish not sure what you meen with the updating bit!
Sorry bud, that was directed to the user in the quote, TomTom.
It's ok, I've updated his signature to erase any confusion.
I lunn, you're aware that the shoutbox is updated with new posts? If there aren't any new posts during the time you're viewing the shoutbox then you won't see any changes.
Could that be the cause of your issues?
OK will check this out now i have found way to increase the number of lines visable in the one box.
You can also use the scroll bar on the right of the box to scroll down to new posts.
If you scroll right to the bottom this should auto-refresh.
I add loads of lines so its a big box at the top
Much easier
Just a side note, The shoutbox works fine on my Mobile, i use it to chat at work all the time ^_^
this saddens me haha you would think in this day and age little things like this would be a thing of the past, I blame microsoft ;-)
