Been testing this and my members love it. I would like to be able to allow non-registered users to post in the chat room. is there away to turn them off and on?

In the "Permissions" I have:

"Usergroups able to view ChatBox but not post messages"

"Usergroups NOT able to view ChatBox (comma separated ID list)"

"Users with post count less than X can not view ChatBox - Set X"

I have the above set to 0 or the line is blank. I have used other chat's in the past to get these "lurkers" or people not registered yet to sign up (paid board). Is there away to allow them to post. When I tested this I could see the chat but could not post in it. As well the Chat room link did not show up in the nav bar when I was logged out.

Every time the chat box auto refreshes it scrolls up about 3/4 of a line such that the most recent chat message isn't visible. Any suggestions for a fix?

P.S. I searched this thread but was unable to find a solution. Obviously I didn't think it would be reasonable to read through all 1531 posts...

This is happening with me as well.

As well, can you add a way for posters to report a user for this? That way I don't have to have a mod in there all the time.

Can someone help be figure out why my not registered/not logged in user group can't post? I do not have that id# listed in any of the sections that prevent user groups from seeing or posting in the chat box.

What is "Logged-out by default" do? It is not in the screen shot.

So doing a search on this thread seems that many people are having this problem of guests getting stuck in the chatbox I currently have been seeing numbers of around 2000 guests online at a time, and all were reading the chatbox or the chatbox archive.

Any way to fix this bug, it's clearly a problem for those of us who allow guests to read the chatbox. I could disable it but I find it helps people want to join if they can read the conversation and not take part in it.

Also it always says "and 1 guests" in the online section. Is this a bug, as it never says anything more than 1 and clearly I got like 2000 guests stuck in here at the moment.

Finally happened to us too a couple months back. So I disabled Guest access. However, a month later I found some 100X normal Guests - all from different places - all doing different things. Checking my referrers in cpanel led to one site that was using an ISP in South Korea. Since my forum is local, I just used cpanel to ban that entire block. I wont know for another month or two if that really solved the problem.

I guess what I'm saying is it isn't a chatbox issue. It may just be that when all these bots descend on a forum, they're getting caught in the chatbox.

Code:

vsacb_submitbutton is null

http://www.huskermax.com/vbbs/misc.php?do=cchatbox

Line 480



VSacb_getUsers();

473

474 }

475 else

476 {

477 VSacb_nowLogged = false;

478 vsacb_actbutton.src="images/statusicon/user-offline.png";

479 vsacb_inputfield.disabled = true;

480 vsacb_submitbutton.disabled = true;

481 vsacb_selsize.disabled = true;

482 fetch_object('vsacb_infoarea').innerHTML = 'Not logged in (<a href="javascript:VSacb_LogInOut();">Log-In</a>)';

483 VSacb_nowPosting = true;

See logged out and logged in attachment. For what I see. I have it set up in admin to allow guests.

We do not use this chat as a 24/7 thing. So it is important that I can get this working.

I'm not sure you can. I've never wanted Guests to be able to post, so I've never tried. I want them to register.

OK. I figured guest's would be part of the not registered/not logged in user group. We have a paid board so you have to contact and admin to register. So I guess I can set up a chat room only user group. People can then go through the auto registering process to become members of that one to use chat.

Hi Valter / vBulletin.org team,

Is it possible to integrate this chat box into existing websites or is there a standalone version available for purchase?
