OK, my interpretation is that ShoutMix will put a member's name into the "name" field of the box, but they will have to type in their password manually.  For the sake of compatibility, it would be best to send $OekakiU only if it is not empty.

This code will show the ShoutMix to everyone, but will only send the member's name to the ShoutMix server if they are registered.  Assuming that ShoutMix won't complain if it receives an oekaki member's name that is not also registered with ShoutMix, this is the code you should use:

    <!-- Begin ShoutMix - http://www.shoutmix.com -->
    <iframe title="acwitness" src="http://www2.shoutmix.com/?acwitness<? if (!empty ($OekakiU)) { shoutmix($OekakiU); } ?>" width="150" height="200" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto">
    <a href="http://www2.shoutmix.com/?acwitness">View shoutbox</a>
    </iframe>
    <!-- End ShoutMix -->

If there's a weird problem where ShoutMix is complaining that some people are not registered, then the current code you have now should be used.

Looks easy enough.

First, let's take care of the function. It should go into "hacks.php" to make sure if you update Wax Poteto, you won't have to re-install all the ShoutMix stuff.  Open up "hacks.php" in a text editor, and sandwich it someplace, like so:

    $wactest     = FALSE; // Beta testers only!
}

// ShoutMix
function shoutmix($name = '') {
    return htmlspecialchars( '&name='.rawurlencode($name) .'&code='.md5($name.'xxxxx6cf3'));
}

//
// General
//

Once that's done, you need to add the ShoutMix box in your notice so it will only show up for members and not guests.  To do this, you need to test if the "$OekakiU" variable is empty or not.  It will always be empty for guests or invalid members.  For members, $OekakiU contains the name of that member.

Since I can't see all the ShoutMix box code, make sure you replace all references to "$name" with "$OekakiU".  I presume there is only one instance to change.

EDIT:  Capitalization of "$OekakiU" is important, of course.
