I'm having a problem with my Vistra Shoutbox, version 1.3.5. I just recently upgraded to PN .760 and thought everything was working well, and for the most part it is, but I have one small problem. The shoutbox works, I can shout, and I can admin the shoutbox, I can edit the database, etc., but when I try to access the full shoutbox, I get the following error:
Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page.
It then goes on to say this may be a problem with cookies not being enabled. Cookies are enabled for the site in my browser, I am able to log off and on without any major issues. I have also tried enabling support for legacy modules. This had no effect. I've tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the module. I've tried accessing it with a shorturl, and I get the same results. The module doesn't seem to support permissions, you simply allow or disallow guests to shout in the admin settings. At any rate the users group has the generic comment permission.
In the grand scheme of things this isn't a big deal, and I wouldn't be surprised if the only person who has ever used the full screen display has been me while I have been testing, but it is bothering me, and I would like to get it working. If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful.

I realize I should be used to being ignored on the PN forums by now, but I really could use some help with this one. I've made some advances. When I set pn_type to 1 in the database (the default is 2), suddenly I can access the full page shoutbox, and I don't get that error anymore, however, then I am no longer able to access the shoutbox admin in the admin cp. I'm guessing that the problem is happening somewhere in the pnInit function. Something that changed between .750 and .760 in that specific function is what is causing the problem I think. Now I realize that that function has alot of includes and calls several other functions, but at least I feel like I'm starting to get somewhere. As I said, activating support for legacy modules doesn't help with either the original problem, or the admin problem I have when I set pn_type to 1. -

The basic problem appears to be that the admin for the shoutbox is API compliant, while the shoutbox index is not. So if set the modtype to 1 I can access the index.php, but not the pnadmin.php, while the opposite is true if I set the modtype to 2. Does anybody have any good information or examples on how to make a mod API compliant?
