I am the admin for this website, however, when I enable shoutbox, I get this message, "Your account does not have the permissions to post shouts."

I believe I have everything set up the way it's supposed to be, but I am not sure.

My shoutbox.mysql table is in the shoutbox folder under modules, should that be moved?

What should my shoutbox.mysql table look like, format wise. I do not have access to PHPMYADMIN on this server, so I'm going to have to write this out by hand or find another method to make this. This is what I have now (basically, just standard):

CREATE TABLE shoutbox (
shout_id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
uid int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
nick varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
shout varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
url varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
status tinyint(2) NOT NULL default '0',
moderate int(2) NOT NULL default '0',
created int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
changed int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
hostname varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (shout_id)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

CREATE TABLE shoutbox_moderation (
moderation_id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
shout_id int(10) unsigned default '0',
uid int(10) unsigned default '0',
vote tinyint(3) default '0',
timestamp int(11) unsigned default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (moderation_id),
KEY moderation_id (moderation_id)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

@warped0ne
You don't have to do anything to get access to the mysql table. Once you enable the module it should automatically create the necessary tables.
I would suggest that you look at your access control. You should allow authenticated users to post, let me know if it solves your problem.

Ok, I tried with my administrator account and I can use the Shoutbox. However, when I try with any other account type with all user levels checked or none checked, I get the following message: "Your account does not have the permissions to post shouts"

Sorry, I had not granted access privilages yet. My bad. Sorry to waste server space with a stupid question.
