just a warning about your site....
Webfroot Shoutbox
Unfortunately, due to major security issues with shoutbox, we are no longer offering it for download. EXISTING USERS SHOULD REMOVE THIS SCRIPT FROM THEIR SITE. But we are working on a new and improved version of Shoutbox -- it may be a way off though. Sorry people, no time to maintain.

One, remove any shoutboxes you have on your site - you're wide open to hacking -- people could steal your mysql passwords, delete files, bad stuff generally.
quote from the shoutbox site, how exactly can they do that?? The reason I want to know is because im developing a message board, and I dont get how anyone can steal info by posting...

They prolly don't mean people that post shouts fatal. But people who also downloaded the script, then figured out how it worked. If they happened to find a site with the same shoutbox on it, they could hack it.

It was a pretty bad bug - i made a stupid dynamic include... *slaps forehead*

But all the major security issues have been fixed with v2.32

Cheers guys :)
