I can see it fine on your site, so maybe you fixed the problem.

with using opera my preferred browser and IE it shows as a solid blue bar.With firefox which i just tried it works perfectly...strange.
And for those who think i've lost the plot here is the view from opera:

It's the first time I've seen this andy, so will check it out. Have you edited the shoutbox files in any way at all?
Is the same still showing as it is on your browser(s) here

Just tried it with viewing by other browsers, and it seems ok, maybe try overwriting the template files for the shoutbox, or test in subsilver 2 instead to see if the same occurs.

ok i will try that now tho it seems to work perfectly if i view it from firefox.i had a similar prob on a site before viewing it with opera but if worse comes to the worse i will just reinstall it.
BTW i managed today to strip back my phpbb3 forum styles back to only prosilver and subsilver2 styles,export all the data to my modded forum to give all the forums/topics/posts etc.However i was able to log in with my admin names as could the other admins but none of us could access the acp.It was like stuck in a cycle asking us to re-authenticate over and over again.We couldnt log out either as it said something about different session and to see admin if probs continued.Don't know if this info will help anyone who is working on trying to find a way of importing their own tables to their forums,
regards
Andy

andy, delete your cookies when it happens and also delete the cookies at the bottom of the board, then once in, check cookie settings.
