Both are excellent Chat Boxes, by very good coders. My suggestion to you would be to go over the feature list and compare them, and choose what seems most suitable for your needs. IMO, Dreams is a very lightweight solution with little overhead, very easy on the server resources. MGC's has more options and configurations. I had this mod installed on my board a couple months ago, and it was very good, but I was missing some of the options I really wanted, and that is when I switched over to MGC's. But, really, it's all up to your needs/wants/resources..

Im sorry im having trouble finding the navbar template on my server. Where is it located?

Got it! Once I get it to refresh quickly I will be up and running with over 8000 members! Thanks!!

Ok!!!

Working well on my forums!

Here is ONE problem! It does not auto refresh when you open the chat box separately! When you use the integrated box, it refreshes fine (every 5 seconds) but when you click the link to open the box, users complain that it does not auto refresh.

Any advice?

Hello, it should be working normally... If this is still not working, please enable the chatbox for guests to view it so I can check it out.

As da420 pointed out, this (mine) chatbox is the more simple of the two. It just boils down if you need a bunch of a lot of features, or just a chatbox that works.

I'd like to point out too that my chatbox is a lot more easier to maintain for the coder, and is bound to give less errors and be easier to update on new versions of vBulletin.

MCG chatbox is great, but I wouldn't use it because my users wouldn't need all those features. It really boils down to what you would need on your website. Other than that I can't really say because I haven't used MGC's. Also what I know is that mine is easy to install/uninstall.

I'd suggest you install both in a test forum and go with the one you like best.

Reset to work for guests (so you can check out your work if you like) also got it working a bit smoother.

Only thing I would like would be a way for it to auto delete older messages. (Either over x amount of hours or after x amount of messages)

Great work thanks for any help. :) :up:

You can use the script inside the cron directory with vBcron to do that, the instructions are in the txt file in the directory.

Ok I'll take a look at it now.

edit: is it still not refreshing in its own window?

Thanks for quick response. :)

Yah it is refreshing everything fine now from what I can tell, I also setup the auto prune script to run once a day. Hopefully that will be fine in regards to lag/page load times. (If not I will just set it up to prune more often)

Great mod! Keep up the good work.

:up:

hi just two questions:

how many queries it have?
is it server intensive? I am planning to change on your chatbox if it is not. this is my last and final choice i have.
