site.com/forum/mgc_chatbox.php and get this msg

"test, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons"

All the permissions are set, it happens with a test account and admin

Are you sure you've set things correctly, especially the option of the number of posts to see the chatbox in the permissions ?

With this mod if you set the refresh too low you get high server load. If you set the refresh high then you have ridiculous time delays and messages get out of synch.

I have set refresh to 4 seconds and the server load as in 'top' can get up to 4 or 5. If I set the refresh to 10 or more seconds my members complain about the delay.

I ran FlashChat for a while and that did not affect server load.

So how come we have this problem?

The way the shouts are retrieved is not the same on my chatbox as I have decided that shouts would be retrieved through ajax, even for the first load of the chatbox, this is why they don't appear immediatly on page load.

About the problem of server load, 4 or 5 is a bit high IMO, most chatbox overload the server in that case, how did you track that server load ? Is it cpu time ?
