Wow, I'm really glad I moved over to Addonchat! I've been using FlashChat for almost 2 years and it's been causing me so many headaches I was just about to remove chat from my forum entirely.

I noticed users mentioned links to members profiles within the chat room. I don't see this as an option anywhere ?

To view a user's profile, right click on their user name in the chat and select the appropriate option. :)

All I get are two options:

Instant Message
Ignore

Nothing else ?

With the Pro edition, will my member database info integrate with this chat?

As in, will my members use the same username and password to log into the chat?

Will my members even have to log into the chat at all once they are logged into my forums?

Thanks.

abrecher, I'm not sure what would be the reason for that. You should probably email AddOnChat directly as they don't provide support in these forums.


They don't even have to log in to the chat, it just opens up and they are logged in with their forum user name. I requested a two week trial of the Professional Plus service to see how the integration actually worked.

Absolutely! It does auto log in if they're already logged into your forum. I'm loving the product so far and so are my forum members.

Addonchat support assisted me with resolving my issue.

What versions of addonchats are you both running? Like them? Any downfalls?

I'm still trying to figure out if there is a true and needed difference in paying the extra cost to go into the Pro Plus package.

Thanks!

I'm using Pro Plus. I was coming from FlashChat. We ran into so man issues with FlashChat it wasn't funny. You can pay monthly for Addonchat so you can see if you like it or not, that's what I did to start off.

Server load and amount of users able to use the chat at once are my main two concerns. I have a relatively small forums right now, but growing at a descent rate so I want to accommodate future growth----today.

I'm currently running cyb chat and my bandwidth is being chewed up like MAD!! :mad: I have the refresh and timeout settings set so slow that I just can't stand it. I can't imagine what my members think. I need to do something else very soon.
