(make sure the path is right for your site)

this will place the chat link in the navbar beside FAQ's. You can plug it in anywhere you want of course. It will open the chat in a new window, and from there your users can re-size..minimize etc.

Don't forget to go to vbulletin options/flashchat integration and disable the "automatic link creation" or you will have doubles.

Hey, thanks for this but I have an additional question for you or anyone else I guess.

I made this change and it worked and launches FlashChat but, for some reason, it doesn't automatically pass the authentication through to FlashChat. My users are having to log in manually.

What is strange is if I use the link created by FlashChat integration in vB Options, users authenticate successfully. I like your solution because I would rather users have a seperate window but I would like the auto authentication to work as well.

Any idea what is wrong?

And thanks, Paul, for this. It's great.
