1) rename it, hold a vote
2) can the box be made to open or close it like a thread or topic so we don't have to see it
3) move it and change the shape so it opens like all the other topic/thread boxes... that way it doesn effect the sizing of current important threads... like beautiful .............

Haha, Ed has spoken!

I agree that there should be an on/off button so you can view the forum in the normal "full view" we're accustomed to. Any pictures are cut off in the current set up. I personally won't use it much and don't really like the condensed viewing of the forum. But, some people might find it useful and i wouldn't want them deprived of a good idea.

I am still thinking on it.  It does keep us at one spot but if you come into a conversation you cant go back and catch up as easy as just reading the threads

No offense to those who put this together. Users need to be able to turn off/on this feature.

The more I have to look at the threads with the size cut down for this feature the more i am disliking it.

I'm sure there is somebody on the board who likes, but for us who find it a bit distracting, on off button would be nice.

I am ok with it now.  It only shows up when you are outside a thread.  I can deal with that.
 
Good work Brady or whoever

on/off really sounds like an idea or just an off switch lol
I wasn't upset about the black cat crossing my path this morning but mouthing "your fu@#ed" as he passed was just rude.

It ties up a lot of bandwidth for other programs than need to be running on my computer. It is quite a nuisance.  I can't tell what is going on over there anyway. Its like when the wife is watching the "VIEW" (Another waste of air time). All the Biddies yelling and never listening. 
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

"The view" would never fly in this household lol. Bunch of uppity lunatic women who have no clue as to what reality is, outside of Elizabeth Hasselbeck. How she puts up with those loons is beyond me.

Hey guys what we threw up was just a test to see how it functions.  We will be adding a lot of functions and features to The O.T. soon and this is one of them.  I think we all like the feature of the Shout Box but not in its current configuration.
 
Please keep making the suggestions so we can fine tune it.
