We installed Cyb's ChatBox earlier this month on a board with about 40-50 members. It's a fairly new board so I'm sure the search bots aren't crawling too much on it, but we do have a robots.txt in place that stops them from crawling stuff like the Chatbox.

After we added the Chatbox we've seen a jump in bandwidth usage from 60-100 MB up over 700 MB daily. This seems insanely excessive for something as simple as a ChatBox. The ChatBox is not viewable to guests so this is generated by members.

Anybody else experiencing huge bandwidth jumps like this? If so how did you solve it?

We're seeing usage from 400 - 600 MB on any given day with spikes over 700 MB on certain days. This site is pretty light on addons.

Yep, about 250MB a day on average in our case, I reckon. Not an issue here though, we're still far below our monthly bandwidth limit.

<else />

There seems to be two places that hits on the main line you said to look for. I changed one and it's still loading smilies. This causes lot of bandwidth usage as well.

If anything other than the forum layout and the "not logged in" message loads for users that aren't logged in, perhaps the closing </if> ended up in the wrong place.
I've updated my original post a bit, should be easier to locate the right locations this way.
And you did replace 1, 10, 100 with the usergroups you want to block, right?

will there be an update for vb4 anytime soon?

swiftor 12-23-2009 10:38 AM

I have the same question, it would be great to have VB4 compatible version soon.

Third! My people are addicted to this chat function, ease of use and smilie library. We are moving to a final merge of sites under vb4 in January.

How exactly am I able to modify the text:

"Ask your questions in the forums. The ChatBox is for small talk."

Thanks in advance.

hi
is it possible to enlarge a height of empty space between messages? i need only 2-3px. Is it somewhere in chatbox templates?

edit: UP -> ps2wiz
ACP -> Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases -> enter "small talk" in 'Serach for Text' field -> find & edit it & save.

</if>

That should accomplish an easier explanation of what your wanting to know. If you need more input then let me know either via PM or this thread.

That's interesting ... :confused:

I just stuck $cybchatbox in the forumhome template where I wanted the ChatBox to appear and it seems to be working fine?

Steve, should I go back and put the extra code around it now, just in case?

Thanks ... :)

Ok... I think this mod has some issues, but I'm not sure what to do about them, if anything ... :D

I installed it and it works great, but I checked our server load (see attached pic) ...

I've never seen it go above 1 let alone up to 25?

So, what's causing it? We're just using the provided default settings ...?

Should I be worried?

Regards,
Badger

ps: Using this DEDICATED server ...

Edit: Had a Unix systems guru take a look at he said turn this mode OFF and leave it OFF.... :(

He commented that it may be a great idea, but it's a system resource hog implemented this way, even on a dual core processor dedicated server based environment. We see about 25-35 users tops at any given time and that's all. Too bad, I was really hoping to use this mod, as our members liked it. Anyone know of a Chat System for vBulletin (even a paid mod) that runs without sucking the life out of the server?
