I must not be looking in the correct location? :|

Go to admincp and for each usergroup, there is a new option to make the vbjirc chat available to them. By default, no one has privs to access it, even admin. You only have to do this for each USERGROUP, not each individual user

I got this error when I installed it per the instructions from the vbulletin-chat.com. That was before I discovered there was this addon. I am not sure what causes this, but it is possible it is a browser/software error on your end. Try to see if another user gets same result? Dunno.

Where do we get the IRC channel, etc.

You install the mod, per the instructions in the package.

As far as getting IRC access, go to:
http://www.vbulletin-chat.com/forumdisplay.php?f=573

I think you can actually do all that from your site, as far as getting your own channel and nickname and all. But there's the full instructions at that link.

To setup an empty chat channel just type /join #whateverchannelnameyouwant
To create a nick: /nick #thenicknameyouwant
To register a nick : /msg nickserv register mypass myemail@address.com but the email address is OPTIONAL
To register a channel: /msg chanserv register #mychan mypass mydescription You can't register a channel without registering a nick.

The only problem I'm having now is that when accessing my own channel from my site, it does not recognize me as the admin. But when I do it from the vbulletin-chat.com it does.

Is that a problem with the addon?
