Merging is tricky business. If I had the time and thought it would actually be used I would do it, but it's not worth the effort.

One thing that page does do is highlight new posts. If you load it and refresh it they all turn gray. Whenever a new post appears it's highlighted in blue.

Quit posting and try Google.

Two suggestions to solve the front page chat conversation thing. First a 'new conversation' check button where when checked a faded bar will appear underneath your entry. This is the idea that what you are posting has nothing to do with what is below.

The second idea would be to have multiple colour buttons (i.e. clear, red, green, blue and yellow). When you post you can click on a colour and your post will appear with that background. By convention anyone responding will pick the same colour. This allows a user to respond to a comment made several posts before. Anyone posting something new and unrelated to the current content would pick a colour which has not been recently used.

A quick mockup of what I mean in Excel:

FFS, it's only a damn shoutbox. Want a conversation, use the forum.

This is what you get when you ask a coding group on what the shoutbox should do

What about a throwback to the 1990s and have a ticker on the front page for recent entries/updates etc.

something that doesnt require a page refresh?

There is one already for the sidebars. Sometimes they show MySQL errors instead.
