My problem is, that I need to refresh my vbulletin webpage to see new message.
any solution?

[Limality]

Installed the product, but soon after enabling it, I started to get 503 Errors on my server, couldn't even log on to the ACP to deactivate it, had to rename some files to at least get a propper php error after which I was able to get back to the ACP and deactivate / uninstall it.

[4WheelFreestyle]

Any ideas for my problem with the addon?

Hello
I installed the mod
I have a problem to write in Hebrew
It writes in G'bris, what can you do?

[infun]

Help :(

[baileyjojoms]

I have installed this and I am not able to use it. When I type a message it doesn't appear to the other user. After sending the message my chat box shows up blank. I have to close the chat box, and refresh the page to see anything.

[King48488]

bad support, bad product... removed!!!

[ForceHSS]

bad support, bad product... removed!!!

agree removed it myself also found out it does not remove 5 tables so had to delete them myself

[Ideal Web Tech]

Everybody having issues please go to our site and start a thread or open a support ticket, so we can help you all on an individual basis. Theres just to much going on in this thread for us to effectively keep track of all the problems to make sure we fix everything.

Support isn't bad we just don't have time to monitor this thread every hour, but we monitor our sites frequently and have helped quite a few people who have done things the way we asked and opened support tickets.

The reason it doesnt remove the 5 tables is for people to be able to upgrade from lite to pro without losing all their data. It wasn't an accident they were left, that was done on purpose to avoid issues with upgrading from lite to pro.

You are experiencing a bug that we are working to fix but not many people have gone to our site and opened a support ticket so we can test patches on your server to get it working, as with all the different server configurations out there we have to make some specific patches for some of them to fix issues. Once we fix them and build them into the release then there will be less issues for everybody. As most the people not getting the messages without reloading are suffering from a similar bug that we have already fixed on a few sites but we need more to test it on to make sure the fix is enough or if we need even more work arounds to fix server configuration conflicts.

[Ideal Web Tech]

Hello
I installed the mod
I have a problem to write in Hebrew
It writes in G'bris, what can you do?
Please go to our site open a support ticket and provide the charset you are using as well as some sample words to test with, as we don't speak other languages so without data to test with we can't fix the charset issues to make sure that all languages work perfectly.

[Ideal Web Tech]

I have this installed and this

DragonByte Tech: Advanced Post Thanks / Like (Lite 1.1.8
Advanced Post Thanks / Like lets members quickly voice their opinion on a post.

it doesnt seem to work unless I disable (Post Thanks)

I will setup that mod on our dev board and see what is going on so we can try to work around what ever is conflicting.

also would be nice to have a feature were users can chat with other users without being friends..

and also to disable sounds cus thats just irritating..

This is already a planned feature and will be in one of the upcoming releases.

My problem is, that I need to refresh my vbulletin webpage to see new message.
any solution?

You are suffering a bug with the stream that is happening to several servers due to buffering issues most likely. If you would go to our site and open a support ticket and provide an admin account and ftp, we will test the current patch we have on your site to get things working, and if that patch isn't enough we will figure out what the problem is and make a patch for your setup and build it into the next release.

Installed the product, but soon after enabling it, I started to get 503 Errors on my server, couldn't even log on to the ACP to deactivate it, had to rename some files to at least get a propper php error after which I was able to get back to the ACP and deactivate / uninstall it.

The 503 errors are most likely being created by your server being overloaded, I would suggest setting the time settings to higher values to decrease the load put on the server.

Refreshing des not work and this database fault is in the output!

Whats wrong??



Thanks for your help

I will take a look at that and get a fix made as the problem is that we used some query tricks that aren't supported by older version of mysql. So if you would go to our site open a ticket and give us an admin account and ftp we can test some new queries on your server to get it working with older versions of mysql.

[iVizuh]

The chat looks great, it doesn't seem to be working for me though! I've uploaded all of the files and i've imported the two products. Nothing shows up though? :S

[Ideal Web Tech]

agree removed it myself also found out it does not remove 5 tables so had to delete them myself

Have you configured the usergroup settings?

[c0der]

thx

but need one for encoding windows-1256!!!

[c0der]

[Dragaon]

Installed on 4.1.5 PL1, works as it should with no problems at all.
Considering buying the full version if the members want it.

Thanks, and nice work! :)

[KGodel]

I like this mod a lot, however it caused random 500 server errors which were due to memory usage. Great mod, but too consuming! Sorry!

Most chat mods won't run on shared servers due to process run times and memory usage :(

I got it to work but did not like it so removed and installed a chat box

When this mod will be good for the Hebrew language?

I had the same issue and its cause is too bad. It might not be as bad if it did not retain old message data. I noticed that message windows would be "open" days after I ended conversation. The chat info was gone, so that part worked, but the tab with the users I chatted with remained.

Could that be fixed to help with such issues?

[Dragaon]

Worked ok for several days, then a few members started to complain about not being able to access the forum. A day or so after that the mod caused the servers 4 gb memory to max out and freeze up requiring a reboot. It's a dedicated server and has never needed a reboot like that.
We have an average of 200-300 users browsing the forums but only members and mods were able to see the chat bar, it didnt handle more than 40 users before seizing up.

Based on other reports on this thread I disabled the chat mod after the reboot and all is well now.

Nice idea but too buggy. Uninstalled

[ALBCODERS]

This Great Mod works perfect on vbulletin 4.0.3 thankyou !

[vanquish.securi]

Easy to install on the latest version of vB. No problems yet, but new forums so not sure how the server will preform.

[TTMT]

Great mods, thanks!
Do you have a version of this mod for 3.8.x?

[Ideal Web Tech]

There are settings to show the boxes that are on the left on the left, right, or dont show.

[jmm1]

Got this installed. The chatbar isn't showing up, and for some reason, I don't have any options for it in "usergroup" settings.

I've searched the thread, but haven't found anything. Any ideas?

[IntellectToday]

Okay, same problem here. I adjusted all the usergroup permissions correctly... double checked twice!

However, the chat will not show up. Any suggestions? Help is appreciated!

Check that you uploaded all the files correctly, particularly the includes folder.

Are you positive you configured everything? Make sure you didn't put anything in the setting for banned users. If both of those things are fine setup a default vb style just to make sure your style isn't whats creating the issue. If it shows up on there contact us and we can talk with you to see about getting your style fixed to show the bar.

That error is related to your servers configuration, most likely your mysql isn't optimized for your server and its crashing due to running out of resources. That would explain why it wasn't able to connect to the socket. I would suggest having a server admin look at your my.cnf and tune things.

[ofir24]

there is a few thing you may want to change on your chat:
problem with language - rtl , the "online friends" separate: "online" "friends", i mean when you want to translate it to language - rtl, it will be opposite. and when you type on the chat in language - rtl it's not align it good as language - ltr.

[ofir24]

and the You on the chat, it can't be translate.

Hello, I like this mod but I had a problem:

When I import the product: "ideal_chat_ajax.php"

Status updates for next version can be found here (http://community.idealwebtech.com/topic/95-upcoming-updates/). Tim has been working hard on things, to add in additional features and fix up bugs!

Brian

[infun]

More or less when you release the version?
Will it be free?

[trickxtips]

Hello, I like it alot, but was wondering if theirs a way i can make it less slow? The loading bar appears for several minutes and clicking on online friends. Is the pro version faster?

[trickxtips]

Also, When I click on a friend no chat box appears, the chat room link doesn't open, and the settings doesn't work. If you could explain to me how to get it working as well as it does on http://www.extremegamezone.com I'll be more than happy to use it and purchase pro

[Ideal Web Tech]

There will be a free update, we haven't decided if it will get all the new features yet, but it will definitely be getting the bugfixes and new layout.

Go to our site and open a support ticket and we will take a look at things to see whats going on. Is your site somewhat slow in terms of loading in general?

[Ideal Web Tech]

Version 1.3.0 has officially been released! All new features were added into the lite version!

[copernix]

It's compatible with vbulletin 4.1.7 ?

[infun]

Hi
I installed the new version
There is a problem, do not see well, I did my user group settings and everything, did not see the bar

[copernix]

In the vbulletin 4.1.7 cause error http, error code 500 Error Internal server.

Gracias,
Saludos.

[stamos2003]

on 4.1.5 it's still not working, even though with ticking "yes" on the "Bugfix" setting :(

[vividbreeze]

Can we ban certain words so when people type in them it will turn into ***** ?

[slammz]

This product has a conflict with version 4.1.7

[imported_dfmafia]

i have the full paid version 1.2.0
seemed to work wtih 4.1.7 on my board. users could chat and use chat rooms.
but it kills the server.
server load with it disabled is 5-7 server load. with it active 20-41 making pages unable to load.

EDIT #1:
a real +++++ to shut down as the admincp would not load to turn it off.

even on a localhost with no users online i had 20+ server loads

I will test it with the latest version. 1.3.0

EDIT #2:
test with vB 4.1.7 PL2 and chat v1.3.0. still increases then load and kills the urljet VPS server.

[ultimategeek]

all installed and working 100%

[Pvtiste]

Hi,

I am really interesting about your mod but is it possible to disable the "general chat room" ?
I'd like my members can only discuss with their friend...

Thanks

[copernix]

I need support with vbulletin 4.17 please, this mod is fantastic !!!

[DaanLT]

its working very well with vbb 4.1.7

[amine13420]

It's don't exist for version 3.8.x ?

[JHC]

Chat bar doesn't show up on my site. I have set all the usergroup settings, and the settings in my profile. Using vB 4.1.7 PL2 Suite. Hmmm.

[CoffeeLovesYou]

Gonna try this on vB 3.8 :) Hope it works. This is really cool!
Edit: Aww. Doesn't work on 3.8
Get this error:
Fatal error: Class 'vB_Template' not found in public_html/forums/global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 53 :/
Oh well. If you could make this compatible with 3.8... ♥

[orangedays]

will this work on 4.1.1?

[Ideal Web Tech]

We are working to help everybody but its impossible to provide good support in this thread. If you want support for issues please go to our site and open a support ticket from the client area, or open a bug report in the bug tracker.

We are working to help everybody get things running smoothly, but do to the complexity of the script there are many different issues that arise depending on server configuration and addons installed. But without a structured way to manage things its impossible to help everybody and fix things on a global scale to fix these issues.

[muckleroy]

Should this only work on the vBa home page? I thought it would be on every page of my forum.... Very nice otherwise.

[Ideal Web Tech]

We have started a poll a bit ago to determine if we should create a vb3 version of this mod. The poll will serve as the decider for if there is enough demand, so spread the word and vote away!

[prophetmuhammad]

running 4.1.7 here.... once activated, it runs WAY too slow to the point that the pages time out. uninstalled until fix

[Lazorbeam]

Not working on 4.1.4. Here's what I see on the footer:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/11/59.png

Installed on another forum and it worked right out of the box (4.1.7).

[venom2124]

Looks like an interesting mod, might have to check it out later.

[PWillard]

its not compatible with internet explorer only on firefox..

[Lazorbeam]

As I mentioned above I had this mod installed on a 4.1.7 forum. Had ONE user (me) online for testing purposes and this mod was eating up 15% of my CPU load at the time. Why?

The script was update_ideachat_stream.php or something like that. I had it set to a 3s refresh.

[Niak_Judge]

running 4.1.7 here.... once activated, it runs WAY too slow to the point that the pages time out. uninstalled until fix

[slammz]

CometChat is better

[Wild Bronco]

I have this setup on my site but cant see it. Install did not give me errors, I have added the usergroup permissions for admin adn users. I tried the default theme it's not there

Any ideas?

[Wild Bronco]

I see it in Chrome not in my Opera browser. It feels slow.. But I like the look. I use vb 4.1.8

[StonePilot]

I'm gonna have to check this out! :-)

[Wild Bronco]

Sorry I was wrong It works in IE and Opera... :)

It won't work with my lang ISO-8859-1 Board is sett to use ISO-8859-1

Characters like ? ? ? ? ? are not shown only garble text.

[revmitchell]

Anytime I try to set usergroup setting I get a database error. I checked to see that there were no conflicts with other products

[belowthebelt]

Installed and paid for the version that includes support, posted support ticket about chat jumping around; no answer for 12 days about fixing the product; I asked for a refund because the product does not work as advertised; no refunds possible for broken software though terms and service ( Understandable & Fair ) however if you are considering paying for this software I would ask that you think again.

It's nothing but trouble.

has anyone figured out how to get this to work outside of a vB environment yet? I have my own custom build website and i can't get this to work on the website, just the forum and I need it to run on both :(

[bakabanana]

worked fine on 4.1.8~

[scottct1]

This looks great, but I am wondering if there is any kind of logging? I wouldn't want to see some of our members use this for illegal activity.

[emgage]

Great addon. How can i get the chat to also appear on my cms homepage? not just the /forum.php page. I am using publishing suite. Thank you

[mackers8923]

I'd be very up to using this if it was available on the CMS page also..

[gmhoward]

Same here... :c

Same here, 4.1.8. When I turn on this mod the server crawls within a few minutes. The load shows no different in cpanel, but the site gets very very slow. As soon as I turn the mod off, the site is fast again right away.

[Athena1984]

I also tested it on 4.1.8 but, it doesn't work for me either.

[sticky]

Want to try this out but it seems to be not be working?

[sticky]

Installed it but completely killed my server and I'm on a dedicated.

[Niak_Judge]

Same :
4.1.8, dedicated serv, ubuntu 11.10 => not working : pages loading very very slow when the mod is activated...

[Replicators]

The Ideal Chat Lite conflicts with 2 mods i have installed which is,

[Oren Rozenbaum]

It's not working ...
It almost ruined my Forum :/

[fishmaster]

I got the same problem, site running very very slow. Please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks

Forum Browsing slowed down to 100% then crashes with a database error.

Definitely uninstalled.

[TheSupportForum]

agreed ^

this does not work on v4.1.9

i had to disable plugins and remove this mod properly
Definitely uninstalled.

[Datenpapst]

Well I had an earlier version installed, but because of bugs I deinstalled it. Now i installed 1.3 and all the settings are showing up and all usergroups are set right, but the bar isnt showing up. :(

[Schoelle]

I've tried this. It did not kill the server, but the CPU went way up with only 2 users testing.
I'm staying with cometchat although it's also not perfect.

[onealien]

yeah i checked it out too...didnt show up after installing as instructed and usergroup adjustment...uninstalled and will stick with ArrowChat...been working great for us!

[zairafusco]

Sorry I was wrong It works in IE and Opera... :)

It won't work with my lang ISO-8859-1 Board is sett to use ISO-8859-1

Characters like ? ? ? ? ? are not shown only garble text.

it's interesting because for me it didn'twork with ie, how did you fix it?

@ Ideal Web Tech: i see that even on the demo site your chat is not working with IE (8), exactly like on my vb site.. (basically it shos only the bottom row of everything.. menu tabs.. chatbox...) so there is any hope you will fix it for IE?

thank you

[GhostHunter2010]

marked as install im gonna test it very soon looks great mod

[GhostHunter2010]

[Ideal Web Tech]

We are aware of the bugs and will be resuming normal bug fixing status soon now that we are done moving our offices. We are also looking at some more advanced methods to fix some of the more in depth minor bugs that have been around for a bit.

Also just a note for now please avoid this mod if using iis7 as your webserver as we have identified an issue with iis7 that prevents it from operating normally. We will release more information on iis7 when we have it available.

Also I feel we must stress that this mod was designed for dedicated server as we have been seeing a lot of people on shared hosting trying it and complaining about the performance when that was never really the target audience.

We are looking into building a hosted version of the chat to start offering as well but it may be a while before we have that put together as their is quite a bit of work required to restructure the code to function as needed.

Please be patient as we work on everything as the advanced code in this modification makes most the current bugs somewhat in depth to isolate and fix.

Also anybody who is having issues with the script is encouraged to open a support ticket to get the best possible support, as quite a few of the issues being complained about are issues related to other addons/server issues, and its not feasible to try and offer one on one support in a public thread since typically we will need login information to take a look around and isolate the issue.

[Ideal Web Tech]

it's interesting because for me it didn'twork with ie, how did you fix it?

@ Ideal Web Tech: i see that even on the demo site your chat is not working with IE (8), exactly like on my vb site.. (basically it shos only the bottom row of everything.. menu tabs.. chatbox...) so there is any hope you will fix it for IE?

thank you

Yes the IE bugs will be fixed as soon as we have time to actually sit down and spend some time ripping through the thousands of lines of javascript and get it isolated down to what seems to be creating the issue in IE8.

[nebu]

I have disabled the FRIEND function in my forum. Is it possible to use this chat modification without it?

[regd87]

I am pretty much a noob, But how do I actually "install" this? Like, where do I put the actual files into which folders? I'm sorry the the stupidity...

[Hippy]

files ulooad to your root dir and then go to your admincp..

down on the left youll see products.. open it up and at the bottom youll see Plugins & Products then manage plugins..at the bottom youll see [Add/Import Product] . there you add the xml file... browse your pc for the xml that cam with the mod... then click import...

* this mod cause sevier server load for some people.. so I would read this thread before install...

whne of if it don't work go back to your manage plugins then manage products.. find the mod and to the left youll see a drop box .. choose uninstall ..
be sure to remove ALL files upload for this mod...
alll the best
Hippy

[james6213]

Strangley this doesn't show at the bottom, everything was added correctly.

[regd87]

I install everything then go to import the chat lite and it says "importing please wait" for about 10minutes now....

[regd87]

I got this installed, changed both user settings to "yes" still can't see it on the forum... www.reptileaddiction.org/forums

[regd87]

any help is appreciated..

[Heardy]

Mine doesn't open the Settings or Chat Room and just gives an error on the page :(

[slammz]

This isn't showing up on my page and I have configured everything for it.

[regd87]

Is there anyway instead of just having friends show up on the online list to make everyone that is online show up?

:(Why

[DFish]

Love it, so do my members apparently. ;)

Uninstalled reason it was the culprit generating frequent 500 errors. Not sure if this is because of my host, conflicting mods or this mod itself. But either way it was a nice chatbar!

[Ideal Web Tech]

Anybody having issues please report as much details as you can on our site so we can continue to weed out random server problems. Logs during error periods are extremely helpful.

We have been reviewing the code and testing it on many different configurations to work to weed out all errors we can, but we really need detailed log information to help us out, since all servers are not configured the same.

Please remember this is a very advanced system in terms of how it works and the code behind it, so changes and fixes have to be carefully evaluated before they can be pushed into the production version of the script.

Also this modification is designed more for dedicated servers, while having said that it can work on VPS, and small shared hosting sites, but its not guaranteed to run on them.

We are also working on IIS issues with the script since IIS stops sending reply data when the stream is open, as it see it as an active request and waits for it to be finished before handling the next request (page load). If anybody has things working on IIS please share with us the changes that you made to IIS to help us get things fixed faster.

Also for faster response and to help us track things better please report stuff over on our site so we can respond faster, as well as organize and prioritize the bugs and data given.

[Tyran1]

Please for 3.8.7 !!!!!!!!!

Please!!!!

[doubleclick]

I don't see it working you your site. Tim+ is there.

[Datenpapst]

After installing the chat is not showing up at the bottom even after setting all options even in my profile.

[ywwz]

great job, but simplified chinese not supported.:(

I have the same problem what is going on?

[blind-eddie]

Try this one instead. Comet Chat (http://www.cometchat.com/vbulletin-chat)
I have it on my 3.8 test site (link below)

Link I posted above shows it to work with 4.0 as well. To me, it was well worth the money.

[Nerror]

I'll be happy to buy the pro version, but I do need to know you're going to be on top of fixes as the vbulletin versions get updated. The Lite version here doesn't work on my vBulletin 4.1.12 test site.

I like the features and how access to the chat is set by usergroup, which is exactly what I need, but it has to work obviously :)

[Datenpapst]

well just seems like there is a lack of support...

[nooners]

Using vB 4.1.11. Enabled this mod and also set usergroup permissions. Friends Online showed up, listed no users, even though I know for sure there are users online. Slowed down my site and also prevented the vBshout shout box contents from displaying. Also, when you click "Settings" for this, does nothing and throws errors when you refresh the page. Disabling this plugin.

[lovevn]

This mod killed my server.

[indyprocentral]

This mod killed my server.

Most every facebook style chat I've used has overloaded the server.. It's really not worth the headache.

[luccss]

Dont works for me ...

4.1.10

[Bernd Glasstett]

Seems it doesn't work with vBulletin 4.2.0.

[woffie]

Comet Chat is awesome! It works great and is very cheap. Has some nice features too that are useful apart from the chat. I won't be renewing my hosted chat next year with 123flashchat. Thanks for the heads up on Comet Chat! :up:

My members love comet chat. You can surf on the forum and chat at the same time. Also the IM works great.

[Winter Sonata]

Hi

THis is great but killed my server so It's my problem, Can you guide me how to uninstall it?

I always get an error when trying :

Warning: require([path]/iwt/shared/includes/license_api.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/plugin.php(1559) : eval()'d code on line 1

And btw, I have no folder called 'iwt' inside the vb folder

[Lucas Zgoda]

Hi, having problems with my language, the sepecial characters like " ~ ^ ´` ç " it won't show. any solution for that??

[Forbiddenz]

Having problems with my Exaltic skin, does great on showthread.php / forumdisplay.php or other page. But it ruined out when on forum.php . Idk why.

[hatetank]

Why are there no links anywhere to the - [IWT] Shared Libraries?

If I try and load the XML file under includes/xml as a new product it states invalid file specified.

What did I miss in this 4 line install doc?

[udomueller]

Its not working on my 4.2.0 installation. No css is included and if i manually add the css to headinclude the bottom_bar is not showing up.

What is to be done to use it on 4.2.0?

The user group is allowed to use the chat and the user has the group as a secodary group.

[BadgerDog]

I was wondering if anyone even read my post...

I did as well ... :)

Thank you for the heads up and I'm looking into it for our 4.1.3pl5 vBulletin site...

Have you tried the video conferencing mode?

Sorry, I have not tried it yet. Its used just for chatting. I would be afraid to over load server with video conferencing.

[BadgerDog]

Sorry, I have not tried it yet. Its used just for chatting. I would be afraid to over load server with video conferencing.

The video conferencing is peer-to-peer, so there is no server loading from the vBulletin server ...

I think I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes...

Thanks again ... :)

[TextualWeb]

Hi, I installed this chat, then it broke my forum. So I tried to uninstall it, but I get an SQL error

MySQL Error : Table 'upperseo_fffvb.iwt_chat_updatestream' doesn't exist

And no matter how much I try to import the xml again to overwrite, it never creates this table. So I can neither install or uninstall it.

[Tyran1]

This Addon for 3.8.7 ???

[Light Peak]

Sorry, the settings failed to load. If you continue to see this error, please notify an administrator.

[ArsMagnum]

Eeeh <.< I just installed this addon and it killed my forum... I throws me Database Error and I dont know what to do

[RG_MONDO]

I recently installed this mod and our users like it very much. We have found, however, that it causes our VBulletin v4.2 forums to freeze for those who use IE9 (Windows 7). There are no reported issues with Chrome or Firefox. I disabled every mod on our site other than Ideal Chat Lite, and the issue still exists - and there is no issue when Ideal Chat Lite is disabled.

Anyone else experience a similar issue? Any work around known for this?

As I stated, our members enjoy the chat program.. far better than the typical plan AJAX chat, but we cannot run it right now due to this conflict.. Help!

[ArsMagnum]

OK, nevermind my last post, it's all fixed now <.<
But now I have a question.
Can it be put on "spanish". It does not accept ñ or

[ArsMagnum]

Ok, forget it <.< it IS the chat the one who's cousing problems.
Can someone help me with this plz <.< when I install it, it works fine for a couple of minutes, and then the hole page crushes and send me this problem:

[Hippy]

everyone should read this thread .. before installing this mod.. Please
Its a great Idea .. but no support or updates since the first person stated the problems and issues with server load and errors... :(
Regards

[RcHelp]

This mod needs to be removed from vbulletin.org. No support, locks up the forums and a major pain in the ass to repair the forum. Page upon page of people having issues and the creator is not helping resolve them.

[Goomzee]

Is this mod works with 3.8x version

[renegade_ice]

like others have pointed out - this mod has issues. it was giving 503 errors on godaddy and we thought it was a capacity issue with users, so we moved to hostgator. soon, we got different errors indicating the same thing. hostgator pinned it to idealchat inside of a minute and said it was killing us on our 25 process limit cause it queries the server ALL THE TIME.

turned it off and will yank it later.

the error:
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@ and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

hostgator pointed to:
http://support.hostgator.com/articles/pre-sales-policies/rules-terms-of-service/processes-limit

far too many queries being done. my "guess" would be so it can update who's online for you to chat with, but this breaks several providers rules for queries and makes the mod useless.

[JustAskJulie]

Is there a demo of your pro version? I looked on Extreme Games (as you'd referenced it earlier) and could not find any sort of chat.

[Domenico]

ESET gives me a virus warning when visting this site. Be warned!

[RAWiley]

Brought the (shared) server to it's knees and had to break the chat script by deleting the executable through FTP as we could not get into the ACP. Uninstalled.

[blind-eddie]

Google Comet Chat, well worth the money. I use it on two sites on share hosting without issue.

[RichieBoy67]

Google Comet Chat, well worth the money. I use it on two sites on share hosting without issue.

One of my clients had that years ago and at that time it did hog some major resources when the chat was very busy. That was 3 years ago or so though so I am sure it is more efficient now. It wasn't bad though constantly. Just when the chat really got packed.

I think either of these would be fine on a decent dedicated server.

[MaLTRaiN]

Hi. A question. I have a spanish forum and I can´t use "ñ" or "á, é, í, ó or ú".

Do you know how to fix it?

Thanks!!!
