Is this fix safe to use on a Shared Webspace? Because my Provider is monitoring the Server, and i dont want to get suspended caused high Server Load.
It might overwrite some settings in your shoutbox, so please be careful! I forgot to check for this. (if it does make changes, any changes can be put back through the Taigachat options in the admin panel)
This shouldn't do anything to the server. All it does is allow the person to stop pulling shouts whenever they please. It is all client side, and should actually decrease the load when people have the shoutbox paused, as their computers won't be making requests during that time!
I'm not sure whether or not this causes timeouts if the pause button is on for too long. That's something else worth checking out.
I've been using this since last night. No one has had problems and there has been no unexpected behavior. I don't think there should be a problem with this quick hack.
I'm hoping that DI will pick up on this and maybe implement it (more correctly than I might have) in his version.
