I figure a little introduction might be in order first, I am the co-administrator of a pretty busy website S-SeriesForum dedicated to S-Series (GM) Trucks and SUVs with close to 1400 members with usually anywhere from 20-50 people on the vbulletin board all day long. I have been working with some small vbulletin hacks here and there, but would only consider myself a novice user.

My dilemma: As of late the trend on our board has become "whoring" (a.k.a. useless posting or chatting in threads and ruining them) I want to as seemlessly as possible intregrate a chat room off our forum which would also show next to the members online stat box, a members in the chatroom statbox. So first I need a chatroom (php / mySQL and vbulletin compatable) and also a hack to show who is in the chatroom on the forum main page. My hope is that the addition of a chatroom would cut down on the "whoring" in the technical forums. Thank you to all for your anticipated replies.

Cart? Sup :-) I'm lookin to do chat on my v-bulliten too...

BTW, I'm a user on your board if you don't reconize me :-)

Hello there, s-seriesforum :)

In our opinion, the best way to keep pointless posts out of the important discussion is to create a specific chit-chat forum :) And maybe an off-topic one :)

However, a chat is a great addition to any page :)

Already got one... check it out.. it's pretty amazing :-)

we have an off topic forum and even that has gotten out of hand. :rolleyes:

I know exactly who you are! :D I checked out your club's site, VERY nice. If I had more time I would help out MIC_RULZ with our club's site, it's hurtin' :( http://www.wnysog.com
