URL to your eFiction: http://www.wizardtales.net/index.php
Version of eFiction: 3.5
Have you bridged eFiction, if so with what?: no
Version of PHP: 5.2.6
Version of MySQL: 5.0.67-community
Have you searched for your problem: Yes
If so, what terms did you try: shoutbox, shoutbox tinymce, shoutbox width
State the nature of your problem: When I upgraded to 3.5, the shoutbox stopped fitting in the left column, but instead now spans halfway across the page and into the center div. I suspect this problem has to do with the fact that there is now a TinyMCE toolbar under the text area. I don't want this toolbar there, but I'm not sure how to get rid of it without disabling TinyMCE for the entire site. I didn't have this problem with our previous build, 3.2. Any advice on getting rid of the TinyMCE toolbar and bringing the width back down would be greatly appreciated!
Do you have a test account for us? no

Owner,
I can't see the problem since your site is in maintenance mode, do you think you could provide us with a screenshot or a test account? So I can't be certain if it's a browser related issue or something with TinyMCE itself.
I've sent test account info to Becca. I'm sorry - what a brainless mistake, to ask a question when you can't even see the site!

Owner,
Thanks, I'm taking a look right now and it seems like it's something with eFiction, and I'm trying to compare the files from 3.3 to 3.5 right now to see what's changed.
Any thoughts?

Owner,
Did you have one day where you took the site maintenance thing off? Because I remember a few days actually seeing your website and the shoutbox looked fine.

Yes, I had a day that I turned Site Maintenance off because, due to a separate problem, I could not create a test account for the eFiction admins. The ShoutBox on my site continues to be messed up, and I've checked it using four different browsers on three different computers, and had others check it as well.
I think Becca was looking into what coding might have changed between 3.2 and 3.5 to cause this problem.
Thanks!

Anything new?

With me the same.
I resolved it by removing the code in the admin.php?action=messages&message=tinyMCE
(Admin->Settings->TinyMCE Configuration).
Make it empty and the problem in the shoutbox disappears.

Hi,
I'm Italian so, I can make some mistakes..! Don't shoot me 😆
I solved Shoutbox/TinyMCE problem in my website.
My website has shoutbox only on the home page, so I disabled TinyMCE on the home page only.
How to do~
On header.php change
if(!empty($tinyMCE)) {
to
if(!empty($tinyMCE) && !$NoTinyMCE) {
On index.php insert before
include ("header.php");
that
$NoTinyMCE = 1;
I hope that it's useful 🙂
I don't see a shoutbox on your site. Did you disable it or something?

When I had that problem, I disabled shoutbox too.
TinyMCE width was too large on shoutbox :|.
I think she prefer TinyMCE on 'Add Story' than shoutbox. Me too 😉
Tammy - I did disable the shoutbox on my site. I'm looking at these solutions and trying to figure out how to add it back without screwing up my layout.
Thanks to those of you who have posted!

Okay, I found "the final solution". XD
It's so easy~
Just add in your tinyMCE configuration this:
editor_deselector: "mceNoEditor",
after
mode: "textareas",
Is there a final solution to this problem? I tried Kai's first fix, and it didn't fix it. The second suggestion, since I don't what php file to place that code into, I didn't try.
