omg your doing it wrong then :\

let me refrase the code for you:

<script>
var username = 0;
getUser= document.getElementsByTagName('A');
for (a=0;a<getUser.length;a++){
if (getUser.href.indexOf('action=viewprofile') != -1){
username = getUser.href;
}}
if (username==0)
document.write('<style>#shoutbox {display: none;}</style>');
</script>
<div id="shoutbox"><script type="text/javascript"
src="saybox2.co.uk/output.php?user=USERNAME"></script></div>

put your saybox username where it says username

In order to hide your saybox from guests on your proboard, add the following code to the top of your headers

<script>
var username = 0;
getUser= document.getElementsByTagName('A');
for (a=0;a<getUser.length;a++){
if (getUser[a].href.indexOf('action=viewprofile') != -1){
username = getUser[a].href;
}}
if (username==0)
document.write('<style>#shoutbox {display: none;}</style>');
</script>

Add your usual saybox code as follows:
<div id="shoutbox"> SAYBOX CODE </div>

does the saybox have to be in the headers? and which headers?

[Fredy]

no. the saybox itself just has to be between the div code. BUT, the first code must go in headers.

which headers? it depends where you put your saybox. if you put saybox in main, put code in main. if you put saybox in global, put code in global. gotta make sure they are together.

If I hide the SayBox from non-members, does that mean members have to be signed into the forum to see it as well?

Thanks,

Yep, using this code you'll have to be signed into the forum to see the SayBox.

Thanks for this code- it is awesome- I am a new member and wanted to keep lurkers from using my saybox...this is great!

Thanks for the code.

I've used it and its not stoping guests from seeing the shoutbox and it now says "no user by that name exists" at the top of the page. I placed the code in the main header and changed the USERNAME to the saybox username.

Any ideas?

Thanks
