Why not make a shout box?

Not quite a necessity, but I guess it couldn't hurt.

Re: You know the "say" and "think" blocks?

Unfortunately, because of how say and think are set up, that will not be very easy to do. The rules are:
o the edges must be straight (not jagged)
o the fill must be solid
o the corners can be whatever, but not too big.

How about a square speech bubble?
Like this:

But couldn't it be something like this (exept that it's a little bit straiter)?

Re: You know the "say" and "think" blocks?

That sounds cool!
One could try to draw a speech bubble...but that would be hard, it would be SO much easier this way!

Use text to do it; it is the easier way its like:
       ______________
       |                  |
       |   Hi!           |
        __     _______
           \   \

            _

In't it?

Re: You know the "say" and "think" blocks?

How about whisper speech bubbles? Though...That'd be hard to fill and adjust(for text amount), for both whisper and shout bubbles

Rdococ has bumped this, but It's ok  smile

Paddle2See has said something like this himself, If a user posts on an old topic but is contributing to it, then It's ok.

If it was just "bump", then it wouldn't be ok.

Because of the rectangular problem, it could just be shaped similar to one.  hmm
