i know everyone hates comparing IPB to Vbulletin.
but you might wanna look into the way they resize their shoutbox.
theres a line in the shoutbox that u click hold and drag down/up to change the size.
that would be awesome for you guys to add in!
Such a feature would take a lot of effort for no real benefit other than "it looks cool and is quicker" so I dunno if we'll be taking the time to change it...
