it seems as if half of the admins who've installed this hack aren't able to get messages through...

I've installed it works fine.... running on 3.3

Well it's a 50/50 chance it seems. Sometimes it works on my site and sometimes it doesn't. I wish there was a way to notify users to open their bb|messenger when you send someone a message.

i cant get it working at all..

its weird because it uploads the messages to the sql db and it downloads and removes them..

but dosent display them..

i even tried a default install.

there messenger should be open anyway if your able to send them a message.

people having probs not getting messagesare you sure you have no pop up blockers on that might stop the message window poping up if someone sends you a message. i know some aol users might have probs due to the way aol works.

Clean install on 3.0.1 .. great hack.

Not being a php coder .. one question .. how do I get the messenger to open in a seperate window ..<a href="bbmessenger/index.php">$vboptions[bbtitle]Messenger</a> - ?

Can you talk to several people at once? *hope so so that I could use this as a messenger and chat room*

TTG -- change
<a href="bbmessenger/index.php">

to
a href="bbmessenger/index.php" target="_blank">

Not in the same window but you can have muti windows open talking to people.

I got it working the way it should, but it kills the server speed :(

This is an amazing hack. Too bad I can't use it :(

open bbm_messenger.php and find:

// choose processing delay, 1 second for windows, 0.2 seconds for everyone else (windows does not support usleep)
if (ONWINDOWS)
{
sleep(1);
} else
{
usleep(2000000);
}


==============================

play about with the 1 and 2000000 numbers making them bigger this is slow down the mssengers reload rate what will put less load on your server only down side is new messages will not be live you get them at what ever reload rate you pick.
