You might want to check to see if the language files can be updated by the script - it may not have permission.

I always manually update language files and upload the changed files.

languages\english\island_shoutbox.php is the file...

$ubbt_lang['SHOUT_BOX'] = "Shout Box";
$ubbt_lang['SHOUT_IT'] = "Shout";

are the two lines you need to change.

The surrounding box is cached as well, so you probably need to clear your cache to see the change.

OK, try this.

I did what you suggested and the title changed but the contents that was in the shout box disappeared. I tried to post a shout but all I got was a message that said sending and it hung.

Ok, I thought no problem. I'll just put back the original php file. So I deleted the island_shoutbox.php and like magic the shout box came back with my new title and the content and no island_shoutbox.php file in the directory.

I have been able to add and delete shouts..thought you'd like to know
