Here's how to do it.
Open the file
/blocks/shoutbox/shoutbox.php
Find lines 39-48
if(dbnumrows($shouts) != 0) {
while($shout = dbassoc($shouts)) {
if(isNumber($shout['shout_name']) && isset($shout['penname'])) $shoutname = "<a href="'viewuser.php?uid=".$shout['shout_name'"]."'>".$shout['penname']."</a>";
else if(isset($shout['shout_name'])) $shoutname = $shout['shout_name'];
else $shout = _GUEST; // Just in case.
$content .= "<span class='sbname'>$shoutname</span><br /><span class='sbdatetime'>".date("$shoutdate", $shout['shout_datestamp']);
if($adminloggedin) $content .= " [<a href="'admin.php?action=blocks&admin=shoutbox&shout_id=".$shout['shout_id'"]."' class='sbadmin'>"._EDIT."</a>]";
$content .= "</span><br />n<span class='sbshout'>".$shout['shout_message']."</span><br />";
}
}
Replace with:
if(dbnumrows($shouts) != 0) {
while($shout = dbassoc($shouts)) {
if(isNumber($shout['shout_name']) && isset($shout['penname'])) $shoutname = "<a href="'viewuser.php?uid=".$shout['shout_name'"]."'>".$shout['penname']."</a>";
else if(isset($shout['shout_name'])) $shoutname = $shout['shout_name'];
else $shout = _GUEST; // Just in case.
$content .= "<span class='sbname'>$shoutname:</span>n<span class='sbshout'>".$shout['shout_message']."</span><br /><span class='sbdatetime'>".date("$shoutdate", $shout['shout_datestamp']);
if($adminloggedin) $content .= " [<a href="'admin.php?action=blocks&admin=shoutbox&shout_id=".$shout['shout_id'"]."' class='sbadmin'>"._EDIT."</a>]</span><br />";
}
}
(Only lines 44-46 have been changed but copying and pasting more visable sections might be easier for some people)
Upload and enjoy.

how would I go about moving the input (white) box in the shoutbox to the bottom so that it is like this:
shout 1
shout 2
shout 3
shout 4 etc
-------------------------
| |
| |
| |
-------------------------
|Shout | | 200|
Members are finding it intrusive being at the top, like its in the way, and would prefer it at the bottom, after the actual shouts.
i think that you take this (lines 40-44)
if(!isMEMBER) $content .= "<div><label for='shoutname'>"._NAME.":</label> <input type='text' name='shoutname' value='' style='display: block; width: 90%; margin: 0 auto;' maxlength='30'></div>";
else $content .= "<div><span class='label'>"._NAME.":</span> ".USERPENNAME."</div>";
if(!isMEMBER && $captcha) $content .= "<div><label for='userdigit'>"._CAPTCHANOTE."</label><input MAXLENGTH=5 SIZE=5 name="userdigit" type="text" value=""><div style='text-align: center;'><img width=120 height=40 src="""._BASEDIR."includes/button.php"" style="border: 1px solid #111;"></div></div>";
$content .= "<div><label for='shout_MESSAGE'>"._SHOUT.":</label> <textarea name='shout_message' class='mceNoEditor' id='shout_message' rows='4' cols='15' maxlength='200' style='display: block; width: 90%; margin: 0 auto;' onkeyDown='return ismaxlength(this)'></textarea></div> <input type='submit' name='shout' id='shout' value='"._SHOUT."'> <input size='1' class='small' type='text' id='counter' value='200'></form></div>";
}
and move it to before the last line
?>
I'm not sure though, and didn't test it. Use at your own risk.

thanks Jan but it didnt quite work. It moved the box but messed up the rest of the page. I put it back to normal again.
