How can I reduce server loads? what options can I change and to what value?

Set your 'active users auto-refresh interval in seconds' higher, anything below 30sec is a bit much.

Also, for the lowest load, only have the ChatBox on one page.Your Forum Home page is the usual choice.

Works great for me in 3.7

Great chatbox. I do have one question: is it possible to find out with some PHP code how many users are currently active in chat? I'd like to make a vbAdvanced plugin to display that number in our portal with a link to the chatbox.

Awesome chatbox.

This is easily the best chatbox i've used. Just dont set the settings too low - I almost got kicked off my server for it LOL.

One question though, any way to stop the horizontal bar when someone posts a long URL?

I've attached what I mean below.

Best mod ever, thank you, had it installed for several months now and it has been great but I need help with an issue I am currently having. My hosting co screwed up my DB, they did some things on the back end to repair the problem, they then had to restore my site with a backup.
I am now getting multiple DB error messages linked to chatbox

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: User tristate already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections
/hermes/bosweb/web000/b0/sl.tristate/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 274

any suggestions?

Thank you verymuch

Incredible code work. I'm loving this puppy.

Question, is there any way to export the archive to a thread so the content aspect still can be indexed? Like say take a evening archive and dump it to a new thread?

I can select the posts in archive but the only option is delete, no move or copy.

Thanks again for the sweet mod!

first of all, thank you very much for this great Hack. I have one suggestion. Could you implement the dynamic replacement variables per style? Because it's quite hard to read the usernames if you have a dark and a bright skin. With the replacement variables I can just change the colors.

Does anybody know how I can implement the replacement variables into this hack? I would like the user HTML markup to change, depending on my replacement variables..

Thanks.

It's fully possible that I've missed this by not reading through the entire thread, but how can I make the chatbox only appear in certain forum number?
