What ate my Cbox?

Posted on the December 9th, 2010 under Blogging by Papa Bear

Last night my Cbox just refused to load. No matter what I did, I kept on getting the message that the Cbox could be loaded. Clearing the browser cache did not work. Tried to open it on a different PC did not work either. The worse part was that other people who are using Cbox were not having the same problem. Even logging on to the Cbox website could not get my Cbox to load. Bumpers!

The first shoutbox that was used on this blog was ShoutMix. ShoutMix was serving this blog well until my Indonesians visitors complained that they were unable to put their link on ShoutMix. Somehow, ShoutMix banned any Indonesian IP from leaving any link in the box.

Due to that, Cbox came into the picture. At one time both ShoutMix and Cbox were made available here but then after sometime, it was space wasting to have both shoutboxes. ShoutMix was then removed.

Last night, something ate the Cbox. I had to find an alternative. The thing is that I was already thinking of an alternative before the problem happened as I was not quite pleased with the no of shout per hour cap imposed by Cbox. The problem actually turned into an opportunity in making the replacement without having to ponder over what will happen to the existing shouts… Worst case, shouts can be collected again…

After searching for awhile, I have decided to use SBox. Not as elegant as Cbox but ease of customization made it an obvious choice. On top of that, there is no limit on how many shouts that you can have per hour and deleting shouts can be done on the spot with just a click. Since the benefits outweighed the flaws, SBox is here to stay and hopefully, it will always be there for those Blog Walkers to leave their tracks.

Happy shouting!
