Just want to be make it clear that this hack works. :) I've been beta-testing this on my site with my staff. Chat works, IMing works, it's all good.

I took out the code for the Marquee and the code, and redid the javascript so that I can use it as a link from the navbar. Made it use my own smilies. I plan to make the actual index.php redundant.

Thanks again for sharing. Still customizing the interface at the moment... will let you know how it goes when I release it to my almost 80,000 members... ;)

thats the return link for after you have logged it, you spot when you have logged in your forums will reload to the index page. this is because the code was taken from the messengers login page where you see once you have logged in the login page auto loads the forums index.

Sweet thanks for releasing an update for this, I've been dieing to use it again :)

this its just basicy the same of what was up before but with a few fixs added and new install and login screen's the bigger update is still being worked on that being v2 if plans for that go ahead.

Yup, I've just made this live on my forums. The IM popups from the navbar. You don't have to use the index.php at all - all calls to index.php gets redirected to the homepage. :)

This is an awesome hack - working fine. Thanks!

How did you do that Erwin? :)

Erwin, can you post how you did that?

Also, is there any way we can get it to use our style colors?

you can edit the css to make it match your colours it dont pick them auto due to it being a addon.
