Thank you so much, Bryan. I added your little bit of code and all is well now. :)

I'm going from memory here as it's been a while since I've looked at it and don't embed the chat on my site but... I "think" it does work but there were various known issues with it. I've always used the pop up version on my site without problems and only those that are registered and logged in can access it.

Great! Glad it helped out. ;)

I noticed when looking at the "Who's CHatting" list that some users don't show up underlined (with a link to their profile). These are registered users so I'm a bit confused as to why this is.

That will happen with user names with special characters or spaces in the name (replaced with underscores) that aren't suppported in the java chat. Because the name has been changed slightly it doesn't match your user database from that page. I believe this is supposed to be fixed in the next release once sigmachat goes final in the near future.

Ah thanks. Also is there any way to view "idle time" of a user in chat? And does the chat room automatically log someone out after they have been idle for any specific amount of time?

Not presently but I "think" that was on the list of things to be added for the next release as well. There's a list of everything that's being added on Sigma Chat's beta forum but it's been a while since I've looked at it as I'm waiting on the final version before messing with it at all.

So far so good for the most part my users are liking it (following the usual "it's new it's different" complaints). I know I read in here that it's been tested with Mac browsers but I have a mac user that is reporting this:
Any ideas?

Also (and I didn't see this mentioned before) is there any potential of making it so that you can click a users name and be taken to their vb profile? I was trying to figure out if maybe that could be done via the "user list integration" or if there is some other way to do it?

Check their OS version. Sigmachat is not supported for OS8 or below and OS9 requires Internet Explorer. OS-X is supposed to be cool with it.


Once again... that's coming but for now you can add the link to "Who's Chatting" to the right click URL list. That way members can right click on any name, go to Who's Chatting, and then access the profile from there. Add the link from the SigmaChat control panel.

I wrote an Add-on to show who's chatting on the forum home page. It is located here. The only thing to be concerned about is an increase in Who's Chatting hits. I actually wasn't aware of that limitation! :o
