Hi,

Is there a way to display the latest post first? After adding an overflow: scroll property in CSS, users have to scroll down the block to see the latest post.

Thank you so much

I had the same problem, the solution is given below. However, I cannot even get the scrollbar to appear! Where exactly do I need to put the overflow property? I have tried putting it under #shoutbox-body in shoutbox.css but it is not working.

To get the newest post on top, change the following in shoutbox.module on line 315 (under function _shoutbox_display_posts)

from

$result = db_query_range("SELECT * FROM {shoutbox} WHERE status=1 ORDER BY created DESC", 0, $show_amount);

to

$result = db_query_range("SELECT * FROM {shoutbox} WHERE status=1 ORDER BY created ASC", 0, $show_amount);

As somebody else said add

div#shoutbox-posts {
overflow: auto;
height: 150px;
}

in the shoutbox.css
