how to only allow admins to post in shoutbox? regular members can only see it

[akalsha]

Hello,
I know there's a way to control who sees the shoutbox.  But is there any way to control who posts in the shoutbox?  I would like to make it so that only admins can post in the shoutbox, and regular members can view it only.  Thanks for any help.

Thanks, I'll be looking for that release. 
In the meantime, does anyone know of a way to fudge it?  I don't know much about php, but could I stick in some if statement code to just make the form part of the shoutbox not visible, or not clickable to regular members?  How would I code it?  I'd appreciate any help.
