thanks cheat-master30!

Having had my server compromised by flashchat, I wouldnt mind looking at an alternative. And smacklan writes some wicked skins, so I'll be checking it out!

(I'm not a big fan of encrypted scripts; but I understand the reasons people do it.)

Thanks for the kind words Mike :) Just an FYI, the only file (yes, singular) that is encrypted is the file that performs the license check ;)

Ah, gotcha. :)

I had that nasty incident on .com a few months back with a kid who sold a vB script that I bought only to find it encrypted and it turns out he was sending back alot more information than you would expect from a script while running and installing. (His "you can hide anything in encrypted code" remark was particularly disturbing).

Keep up the great work - reminds me I owe you a few more bucks! ;)

I'm really liking the look of the script, I just wish there were some vBa modules available. Only thing holding me back really.

The script is in the hands of my developer as we speak adding some new features to it...I'll ask him to look at that possibility ;)

The integration with vBulletin, does that mean the user can log in using their forum username and password? Or do they have to register on the chat itself?

Yes, they use their forum login info and if they click the remember me button when they login the first time, the cookie will remember them for the next time just like on the forums.

Coming up with a chat solution for my site has really become a headache. I am on a shared server so load is a problem. I purchased and had been using Flashchat for some time and my members liked it but then as the site became more active, I started having problems with it.

So, I paid over $100.00 for one year of AddonChat which integrages nicely with my Vbulletin but way too many of our members are having problems with it. There are just too many issues with AddonChat, java, MSN, Vista, etc. So....I have now removed that one.

I am presently testing EWChat and have it running on my site but don't know yet what it is going to do to server load and also it lacks MANY features that my members like. Text colors, who is chatting on forum home, smiley boxes, etc.

So my question is this. Is there a Flashchat remotely hosted solution that I can integrate with my VBulletin?

Is there a Flasherize solution for this?
