In the NextGenUpdate ShoutBox (the chat room/box on the main page), you can type "/me" to have a special effect on your Shout.

For example...

"/me says ohai"
would say
"*Rave says ohai*"

Common knowledge, right? =D

Well, I've created a way to replace the "Detach" button on the ShoutBox with a "/me" button. (temporarily, of course. You can get that Detach button back if you want to!)

Just use one of these javascripts on the main NGU page to get the button.

For Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Opera:
    javascript:function newShout(){document.getElementById('vbshout_pro_shoutbox_editor'Winky Winky.value = "/me " + document.getElementById('vbshout_pro_shoutbox_editor'Winky Winky.value;;InfernoShoutbox.shout();}function changeButton(){var inputlist = document.getElementsByTagName("input");var i=0;for (i=0;i<=inputlist.length;i++){var inputvalue;void(inputvalue = inputlist[i].value);if (inputvalue == "Detach"){inputlist[i].onclick = newShout;inputlist[i].value = "/me";}}changeForm();}changeButton();


For Google Chrome:
    javascript:function newShout(){document.getElementById('vbshout_pro_shoutbox_editor'Winky Winky.value = "/me " + document.getElementById('vbshout_pro_shoutbox_editor'Winky Winky.value;;InfernoShoutbox.shout();}function changeButton(){var inputlist = document.getElementsByTagName("input");var i=0;for (i=0;i<=inputlist.length;i++){var inputvalue;void(inputvalue = inputlist(i).value);if (inputvalue == "Detach"){inputlist(i).onclick = newShout;inputlist(i).value = "/me";}}changeForm();}changeButton();


(If your browser isn't listed yet, then try both Winky Winky)

Just copy and paste one of those codes (try both if the first one doesn't work) into the URL bar and hit enter. It'll replace the Detach button with the /me button, which you can click on to automatically apply the /me effect.

Just try it, and please tell me what you think =D

Type what you want then press the /me button, it automatically shouts it for you, too.
