Installed free test version... thank you ... :up:

We've been testing various paid chat systems for our site and in this case, have been considering the Enterprise version.

The first thing we're trying to determine is how tightly the "look and feel" integrates to our site scheme and we've been unable to get even the background color to change from control panel. Are we missing something? :confused:

Second, the navbar drop down box seems to be available to everyone (even guests) right now and disabling "login" under usergroups doesn't seem to stop this behavior.

Is there a way to turn this OFF and keep groups out under the free test version, so we can do some testing just at the moderators level before we release it to the public?

Thanks... :)

Just looked at function and features in VB4 implementation.

As mentioned in post above, we want to install Enterprise version, but have no intention of implementing VB4, so will the version we buy for 3.x have the same functions.

If not, I assume it's pointless for us to import the VB4 version and see if it runs for us?

Thanks

Has anyone had any problems with bandwidth using this program?

Addinchat looks perfect - but my service provider warned me about using a lot of Bandwidth - any comments please.

Tony,

AddonChat is fully hosted, so they incur all of the bandwidth, you incur none - sort of like hotlinking to an image.

That's the great thing about it - once the users are authenticated on your site, it doesn't use any of your bandwidth or server resources. All chat communication is hosted by AddOnChat's apparently robust infrastructure. I've had over 160 people in my chatroom at the same time without problem.

Thank you for that - my service provider was concerned becuase of the transfer of chat from one server to the other - but its not that is it - its a link to another site?

Am I right?

Thanks

Tony

That's correct, Tony. As Chris alluded to above, the chat box is sort of like an image posted on your website that is hosted by another, or an embedded YouTube video. All of the text users input is sent directly to AddOnChat's servers through the chat box embedded on your web page.

It's an excellent service, consumes no bandwidth and their product support has been outstanding.

We use them for not only chat, but their "live support" module as well.

Highly recommended .... :up:

Current issue with the NPAPI flag activation at Chrome browsers impacts very negatively on our forum's usability.

Is any expected date for AddonChat-X vBulletin 3.X integration solution ??

We'll be announcing the launch of AddonChat X (http://www.addonchatx.com) within the next two days. The expect launch date at the moment is the 16th of this month.

Shortly thereafter I expect announcements to follow regarding vBulletin integration. VB 3.x integration is already in development with VB 4.x. The company has also purchased a VB 5.x license so I expect VB 5 integration to be available shortly as well.
