Actually, shoutbox is a kind of a chat and the aim is that you can comment it by your own post.

Maybe there should be an extended version, for a few extra, where you can host up to atleast 5 shoutboxes on their own pages so they can be treated as user integrated chatrooms.

ok but more idea's: how about an option that a user can send a message to all groups, all users dashboard & to all friends dashboards. With usercredits price for each type of post.

This really could use more to the admin side. Maybe the ability to suspend/ban certain users from using it, deleting messages, adding your own smiles, see a full list of every message entered on there.

Moderators of Shoutbox and Admin are able to delete messages now. If you are an Admin Delete button will appear on hover of bad message.
Under "see a full list of every message entered on there" you mean see entire history of shoutbox?
Thanks for suggestions Jake!

Nice, I can delete the messages. And yes, I mean see the entire history of shoutbox messages. That could help find any member who may have broken a site's terms of use by using non-approved messaging.
And we could really use custom smiles sets, and your welcome :)

Actually in the beginning Shoutbox was not meant to be an Instant Chat. It is a place where people could post their thoughts.
You can decrease ping interval in the widget settings, but it will increase a load to your server, so it's not recommended...
The only decision I see is using of some Long polling solutions. But they won't work on shared hosting for example.

One more suggestion would be to let the user send a shoutbox message directly to another like using @Testuser Hi! and @Testuser would be a link to their profile.

Here's some more suggestions I have:
Gift Buy - User can send/buy a gift right from the Chatpage by scrolling over a user message and clicking "Send Gift" or something and it opens the gifts window.
Native Pages - Allow to have like several native pages to make it seem a bit like chatrooms?
Private Convo - Let users have a private convo via the shoutbox

Joseph,
That's a nice idea, but moderation might be tough, and if you run a popular site, it will take more server resource from you to have every member upload their own smiles.
