3. Make sure to disable and reenable the MyShoutbox plugin (or modify the code before installing)
4. Replace jscripts/myshoutbox.js with the file attached below.

I usually don't provide support for these matters, but since the original developer dropped active support I'm glad if I could help anyone out as I've been using this shoutbox for many years and it's a shame to let such a plugin get to waste.
