It's a little temperamental though - if you spam 5 successive shouts, the server comes back with the error message at different times and therefore they can be queued in the wrong order. But as long as you're leaving a little delay between your shouts (i.e posting something more than 2 characters) it shouldn't be too much of a problem. |

The downsides to a queue are that a conversation may have moved on by the time all your shouts get through and you might change your mind about what you want to say but have to wait (literally) a minute for your five messages to get through before you can do another. Or one of your messages was cut off by the server for being too long and now it's a bit odd as a rant.And it is a shoutbox, not a paragraph-spewer, which is why I liked the idea of giving people the option to retrieve their lost last shout but not necessarily shoving it through, too. Of course, on most communities five messages in a minute will almost always be fine to do without much changing at all. Good work putting that together, Viral. (And getting rid of that awful alert is always a blessing!)

Just updated the code so it now allows you to remove shouts from the queue .

Quite interesting code, indeed. If only it would save the shouts upon refreshing the page, but that's probably beyond what a JS can do. |

Definitely possible with cookies - but I'll let someone else do that if they want as I don't have much time right now :< . |
