See that thing in the red rectangle? I would like to have it on my site too. it is like a shoutbox, that shows the users message for 20 seconds and if no messages are in the queue it stays until next message is submitted.

I want that my visitors can specify their name and message with no need to login.

If possible, if they are logged into my forum, their forumusername would be shown as the name and it should be a link to their profile.

do you have a deadline? cuz I can prolly do it, I just need to know what type of forum you are using, and if they don't need to login in; what about security risks?

This totally can be spoofed then using cookies.

I have no deadline. It is phpBB 3.0.2. What do you mean by security risks? What can be so dangerous by just sending a textmessage like in a shoutbox?

Also, make a limit on like 250 charachters if possible.

security risk as in someone imposing another user, since they don't have to log in?

also do you wish to keep a log of what is said?

no logging please. But is it hard to have a word filter, with like, the most common words?
