The shout box problem is most likely because its using inefficient AJAX.

A lot of the people on the vBulletin.org community lately (where the script undoubtedly came from) have gotten VERY sloppy with their modifications.

Unfortunately that mixed with the new AJAX craze, means a very inefficient shoutbox.

You'd be better off installing some kind of java chat applet, or removing it all together than using vBulletin.org's modifications at this point in time.

Bare minimum, avoid all AJAX vBulletin Modifications, as they are server nightmares.

On a side note, would it be possible for me to get a copy of the forums skin? I'm not interested in the design persay, only a rather large modification I wrote to the profile template.
