Need a good CHAT add-on

[z0diac]

Ok, I'm *NOT* experienced in adding mods to vBulletin. I'm looking for an easy to install chat add-on, so that my users can chat with each other online. It's a sports (hockey) forum and we'd like to have a chat script so that everyone can talk to each other before and after the games.

What's the best and easiest to install script out there? I'd like something that resembles a 'real' chat - that gets updated every second or so, instead of having a big delay between messages.

I was looking at a "MGC Chatbox" script but the readme file scared me away with all it's template modifications that I had to do.

Any advice is welcome. Thank you.

MGC Chatbox is Excellent!! :up:

FlashChat is Better but Harder to Install, and also Costs $5 per Licence!! ;)

Actually the Template Edits are very Easy because are Add Before of After, NOT REPLACE (be careful), and is a Great Hack!! :up:

Is your Choice and also Your Risk, but remember MGC Chatbox is more like a ShoutBox, not Exactly a Chat; for a Professional Chat with Many Users Posting Messages at the same Time, you should better consider FlashChat!! ;)

Thank you very much! I was almost editing my templates just now to install mgc but I'd prefer getting a more 'normal' chat script that updates/scrolls more MSN-like.

Just for clarification, could you explain the difference between a ShoutBox and Chat?


Edit: Nevermind, I just looked up Shoutbox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoutbox).
