The instructions for installing this don't seem to be user friendly for the novice.

anybody?????????????????????????

Folks -- We provide full support for this add-on. If you have any questions at all about installation, just eMail us with your account number at support@addonchat.com. We do not provide support via these forums.

Additionally, we are more than happy to give two week trial upgrades to anyone who requests it. Just sign up for a free account at http://www.addonchat.com/ and send us an email or give us a call. The bare minimum requirements are the Professional edition with the Remote (HTTP) authentication module; but we recommend the Professional PLUS edition as you get a lot more for your money.

Someone asked about logging/transcripts -- the Professional PLUS edition provides complete and detailed transcripts, and you can opt to receive them daily via eMail if you'd like. You may visit http://www.addonchat.com/features.html for a complete feature list.

I'm hesitant to comment in regards to the self-hosted flash solutions; however for those of you who wish to hold a chat with more than 3 or 4 members without it bogging down your web server, I would strongly recommend a hosted solution that uses a real chat server -- not a client that is constantly polling a web server.

how much? i want something with audio/video in it.

I got sorted...eventually!

Does this use the default (current selected) vbulletin theme as well or is this entirely separate?

I like it but like has been said already, miss the "who's chatting" at the bottom of my forum page like Flashchat was using. Also, it is not reporting correctly the number of users in chat.

hell i see only problems faced by all users, i m not gonna install it.

I'm glad I installed it. I'm having no problems. I thought the number of chatters wasn't working properly but it once my fault that I hadn't read that it updates once per minute. I think it's a great addition. I had used Flashchat for a while now as my site grew, it was really affecting the server resources. This is a great solution for me and works very well.

I am sorry to say that have now removed Addonchat form my site. This software is just too buggy and too picky about what browser and etc. a user might use. There are problems with MSN, problems with IE7, problems with the latest version of Java, etc. etc. etc. Way too many of our members could simply not use this chat. I wish that I had tested it more extensively before purchasing but that's life. I'm out $100.00 and looking for a new solution.

I posted my concerns and complaints at the addonchat site but rather than contact me or try to offer any solutions, they just deleted my post and ignored me. That bothers me more than the loss of $100.00
