Does SigmaChat work in Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox? I use IE and it works fine, but trying it in those other browsers didn't work. it didn't get any further than 'Loading... please wait'.

It works for me in Mozilla Firefox.

Yes, absolutely. We've tested it using MSIE/Win32, MSIE/OS-X, Netscape (all JVM supported platforms), Mozilla, Safari, Opera, just to name a few. Basically any web browser with a modern Java Virtual Machine will run it. Make sure you've got the latest JVM from The Java Website :)

hmmm Chris, do my chatters also need to have JVM installed to run it?

So far I have been unable to find a common thread for those who can not get in chat and only see the white screen. *sigh*

I just don't understand why some can get in and some can't.

Also, if I go back to my old AAS, will the newer who's chatting layout still work? Or do I still need to use the old one for that as well?

Yes, you need to have Java installed to use the software. If that doesn't work, send me a link to your site and I'll take a look.

You should be able to drop in any AAS script you'd like in place of chat_auth.php -- just make sure you disable the auto-login within chat_global.

Well all swear they have java. *shrugs*

Hmm so if I go back to the old chat_auth.php and change the autologin in the chat_global.php, all will still work??

Thank you so much! Downloading the latest Java software fixed the problem. :)

It should -- chat_auth.php isn't really tied to anything else. Why do you want to use a different authentication script if you don't mind my asking?

I'm getting an "uncached templates" error when the chat page comes up. How can I fix this?

Okay Chris... been following this discussion for a little while and am now ready to purchase a chat app for my site. If I understand things correctly the sigma chat integration with VB3 uses current usernames for the login process but does not indicate whether the room is being used or by how many at any given point? I'm not concerned about listing actually users as part of the added who's online module but just a simple number of users. For example, in the nav bar I would like a link to chat followed by the number of active users - Chat (7). 100 hits for who's online would be used up in no time flat on my site simply from people being nosey and really isn't worth the extra billing to me. For that matter... even a small status icon indicating it's being used at all would work nicely - similar to the online indicators on this message board.
