Playing with forum features.

So, this shiny new forum has a number of new functions, one of which I am going to ask everyone's opinion of before I consider enabling.

That being, the shoutbox.  It's basically a chat panel.  Anyone logged into the forums can basically use it as a chatroom.  Is this something any of you would like to use?

I think it would be a good idea.. Not all of us have a way to contact other players. So the chat could useful.. Also is there a way to change the options of marking the forums read? Its sort of a pain to have to go through each section to mark them done.. An over all read button on the main forum page would be nice

Yep... the shoutbox usually ends up being a place for fun comments

100% in favor.

I have turned it on for now.  It will appear at the bottom of any page you are viewing.

On the main page, under forum statistics, there's a link that says "Mark All Forums Read."
