Clearing comments from shoutbox

You can do that from the database
open phpmyadmin/DB(170)/
in the left find comments
you can click on it and remove the ones you dont want in there

Thanks for your quick reply mrpowless, I've been into phpmyadmin and opened shoutbox but don't see where to edit text..I have clicked empty but that didn't clear it, sorry to be so thick lol

if its not in the database it wont show on your site after afew refreshed...dont panic every webmaster learns to not paninc if your changes dont take effect immediately...IE really really likes to hang on to things

so if your shoutbox is empty in the DB then it's empty...even if you see it for now new users wont

rayshoutboxmessages is where the messages are stored.
