Whats the bubble popping sounds?

[CaptainJoe]

Just started yesterday?

no recent activity in shout box.

My guess is that your computer is infected. If you are using windows I would scan with Malwarebytes Antimalware for starters and see it it's better.. Do you have a good antivirus?

[CaptainJoe]

Thanks,

Recently installed Norton security. no problems till yesterday. will run a scan.

It's NOT your computer. I should have mentioned it. The new Shoutbox does that sound to notify when somebody enters it. Will make it user selectable to turn off the sound if I end up keeping it.

[CaptainJoe]

Thanks Don,

Ran the scan and it was still there.

Got on to shout box and Jeff suggested that's what was causing the sounds....

Thought for a while the voices were coming back...lol

Whew

Here I thought maybe Lawrence Welk was on the site...

[Brake Pad]

I had that happen to me on the computer and I couldn't figure out how the sound came through

[Freebird]

Well, I've turned it off for now. Seemed to be no love for the Shoutbox so I guess it will just go away. I'll try to find another way to irritate you all.

[Ben Rollins]

I think it was a good idea.

[Stealthblade]

It was on, refresh and it was gone... da boss is always on da job.

 

For your next trick, mebbe insert pics of your bike in random posts. That would cause an uproar for shore.

[Freebird]

I haven't removed it completely, just disabled it to see if anybody cares. I can flip the switch at anytime to turn it back on. Just didn't get much feedback on it.

[Stealthblade]

If it's able to be viewed by 'anyone', might be a good place to ask the currently... 83 guests... to give us a shot and sign up.

[Freebird]

I can set the permissions to be viewable by everyone. Many of those "guests" are bots though.

[Ben Rollins]

I say turn it back on and put up a vote, I myself think it would come in handy during projects for quick input.

[Freebird]

The thing is, we already have a chat room. We really don't need two. This one is better in that it will work from phones, iPads, etc. but it's not as pretty as the one we currently use. If there is a vote, it will come down to one or the other. I think that having two would be too confusing.

[Freebird]

OK..I enable it again. We'll give it a few days and see what the consensus is. It has some advantages over the other chat room. Primarily it is easier to use, no logging in and out and it should work for everybody regardless of what device they are connecting with. The downside is that it doesn't have the slick look of the other one.

[Flyinfool]

The shoutbox also can not post pics or emotions or other fun stuff. Or can it?

[Freebird]

It can post emoticons. Not sure about pictures. I know you can post them using BBCode.

[Yammer Dan]

I think its Good!!

[MikeWa]

As long as I can turn it off I don't really care.

You can collapse it so that it doesn't show. Also, I think that if you don't go there or after you do and then are idle for a while, the sounds will stop. Haven't confirmed that though.

 

Really doesn't matter. If people like it, I will spend the money for the "pro" version and that one includes User settings to turn off the sounds or even completely remove the shout box.

Weird how we can all hear the same sound but find different meanings in em,, I thought someone had recorded the sounds coming from Raggies man cave the night of his Meet n Greet last year...

[cowpuc]

I am gonna go click on shout box a whole bunch of times just to make a bunch of noise and wake things up around here,,, my as well a little..
