You might not be the only one, Carno, but there is real home page with introduction to the site, latest posts, etc. and it's there that the shoutbox was installed.
I'm going to completely clear my histories and cookies, then try to get to the home page in FF as if I were a newbie...
Halx...might be something needing your work on?
Edit: Well...history. Cleared. Cookies. Deleted. Home Page. No go....
Shoulda left it up longer, Halx...I like shouting...it's a Jersey thing..
