or at bottom, not picky really

Hello,

So before in the slightly earlier versions of Composr, I was able to make the side block shoutbox appear at the top of my forums by adding it to a comcode page and using some tempcode magic to make it appear where desired on the forum.

Well, then the website apocalypse happened. I was at work and got a message that the server my site was on erupted in flames or something, on the same day my hard drive on my computer failed and had to get a new one. Not to worry though, right? Because after all I keep backups. Only problem, my most recent backup got corrupted, and the most recent one I had was one of my "lets see what the other guys are doing" test backups. Yeah… I've been spending a lot of my free time coming back from all of that…

Story time aside, I tried to replicate the whole shout box on the top of my forum thing, only…. Well instead of displaying the shoutbox like it should it displays the damnable chat lobby landing page. It is like there's some secret code now inserted in Composr that says "if mythus tries to make the side shoutbox behave like a proper shoutbox, change it to the chat lobby page".

So, how do I change it back to showing what I want, the shoutbox?

Like ocPortal? Want to thank Chris and gang somehow? Then help out in the chat room! It really needs your help! Just open it in a tab everytime you open your web browser, and when you hear a "ding", check it out!

So I was able to resolve this myself. The issue, I created a comcode page named :chat. Well, composr is smarter than I am so it decided I meant to call it Chat.php, and renamed it as such. As you can guess, Chat.php is the chat lobby.

So yeah, I created a new comcode page named :shoutbox and it worked.
