Did you use the Package Manager to Install the Mod ?

Uninstall using the Package Manager , then apply the Mod again,
right after applying see at the top left of the page 'Tables Created Successfully' , let me know if you see that Message or another Message

How is this with bandwidth?
I've been using an external shoutbox because using the original SMF ones would destroy my bandwidth and my host wasn't so pleased.

Thank you.

This 2 year old topic is not necessary now.

Why?

Because the portal has its own shoutbox which you will see if you look on the left of the portal.

I have tried to use that shoutbox and it destroys my bandwidth. I am using over 90% of server resources on shoutbox and my host has shut me down.
I am currently using a external free shoutbox but I'm looking into ways to have an integrated one.

I will post a different thread with a possible method that I need some assistance on. Thank you.

Try reducing the refresh rate?
Unless its like instant chat I would  set it to 120 seconds or even longer. As people move around anyway they reload often so constant refresh not needed I think.

Im on a shared host and no trouble ... but I set refresh rate at a longer interval.

120? I have members who like to constantly chat and hold conversations in the shoutbox. Right now I'm using a free external.
I'm looking to host the shoutbox on a separate server but I and trying to figure out how it can link to the current user database so people won't have to re-register to use the shoutbox.

Nightmare - I wouldnt bother with so much trouble. If its that important and so many users ... you should be on a proper hosting server. Dont waste hours and hours trying to do it the hard way managing user sessions between different  software on different servers  :P

SMF2 is not well bridges with anything yet like smf 1 with say Joomla or Wordpress. With joomla its straightforward free plugin to link user accounts and login across systems. Might only work on same server - not sure. Even if it worked on another (free?) server you would burn up cpu time with all the other extra software running - again not worth it.  And now you are managing two server systems  - you are basically "chasing your own tail..."

Lots of hosts out there for a few $s/month that will run the shoutbox in smf. Try slowing down refresh to what people will 'just' accept.
10 seconds ... 20 etc. A free hosting service is definitely not going to have any sympathy for you running it every few seconds.

I've tried to use 20 second refresh and that still overloaded. My bandwidth usage was insane still.
I guess I'll just wait until I decide to go to a dedicated server. This shared host will do for now I suppose though. :P

Im on a shared host (6$/month)... not one of the cheaper ones but the shoutbox works fine. Guess it depends on how many users you have online at the same time.

Usually 2-10 users can be constantly using the shoutbox.
It's a fast growing forum. A week after launching the site we had already surpassed 100 members. We are at 400 members now and it was launched at the end of September.

Do you have caching enabled in both the shoutbox & your forum (<- server settings ie. lvl 1) ?

.. and why was this old thread hijacked? It needs to be split
