Hi, I have been meaning to post this since upgrading to Shoutbox Pro a few months ago. Overall very happy with the shoutbox, and the upgrade to the pro version was worthwhile.

I thought you ought to know that there is an error in the default css.

shoutbox-user-state-online and shoutbox-user-state-offline are both set to var(--shoutbox-green) when the offline should be var(--shoutbox-red). This means that users always show as online and could lead to anyone who doesn't check the css and correct it to believe the online/offline indicator doesn't work (which it does).

While I am here I'd like to mention a couple of minor annoyances or suggestions for future updates.

Currently with the kunena integration new posts are announced in the shoutbox (which is a useful feature), but the link in the shoutbox message sends users to the first post in the thread instead of the new post that was just announced on the last page. Also, the link opens in a new browser window instead of in the same window.

Users have noticed that the sound notification for a new shout often only plays for the person submitting the shout, and not for everyone else rendering it somewhat useless. I am not sure if this is a constant behaviour or an intermittent one as I haven't invested much time in to checking it.

Hi,

Thank you for reporting the issues with the Shoutbox.

1. The CSS bug with the offline indicator colour has now been fixed and will be available in the next update.
2. I've started to take a look at the Kunena integration plugin. This might take a little longer to sort out as it's been a while since I've worked with Kunena.
3. Regarding the sound notifications, it's definitely hit and miss. I might need to completely rework that feature.

Regards,
Lodder
