Could you make it so that the shoutbox reports its Last-Modified time as the time of the last shout? I'm trying to do something cool but I dont want to hit SEN hard.

A half-decent idea, but what are you planning?

The shoutbox script is pretty buggy -> http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Shoutbox&shout=197806
He's planning to h4x0r it (he can do that kind of stuff LAMF).
He wants to make a shoutbox botish thingy but he doesn't want to kill SEN's bandwidth (unconfirmed, I'll specify once I get to him in person in about an hour).

You dont know about Farty's Shoutbox?
ADDITION:
This might also be useful when auto-refresh is implemented in v5 because that way you can HEAD first to check if the shoutbox has been updated.

Its not, It's just in order to keep my AJAX shoutbox for v4 from hitting SEN hard.
Also, to get rid of all the css on every page, use @import "stylename.css"; to put the CSS in another page. I dont think you need to support browsers with no CSS2.

I should just make posted variables only allowed from sen itself ;o

Having all these shoutbox mods and add-ons just opens the possibilities for a security threat for SeN.

It doesn't open them... it just exploits them

What? Anyway, this will only make it so that the script can first send a HEAD request so that it can figure out if the shoutbox has been updated.

i don't see how you could just mold an ajax script out of something that's not set up for it.
But, even if you could... I rather you not. SEN is a server whore already...

yeah, but you see, this will acutally take LESS than the current shoutbox because sending a HEAD request doesnt get the actual doucument, so pressing refresh would not get the 3.36kb of shoutbox, but the header.
The header I want you to add is Last-Modified. Heres an example
Then, the AJAX can send a head request and see if the shoutbox has been updated by comparing it with the previous one it had.
CODE
javascript:xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();xmlhttp.open("HEAD", "http://www.staredit.net/index.php?act=Shoutbox&view=globalshouts",true);xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {if (xmlhttp.readyState==4) {alert(xmlhttp.getAllResponseHeaders());}};xmlhttp.send(null);
Copy this into the browser window to see the current header.The header I want you to add is Last-Modified. Heres an example
CODE
Last-Modified: Wed, 15 Nov 1995 04:58:08 GMT
