I though it was a bug, but vbulletin told me it was an issue on your side

I think I know what you mean. I'll be in the chat... But tabbed (meaning more then 1 browswer tab) and on another site. I'll click back to the tab and I'm not listed. It's more an ajax thing??? (VBdev?) or something else. It's also more a feature then a necessity. Yes, it's nice to know who's in it, but who sits there waiting for a s/n to come on to post.

Google

Flashchat uses ajax (I think) and java and flash. It intergrates into forum, it's not officially part of it.

CybChat is good, but lacks features (and no, I'm not saying cuz of mgc)

Addon chat? Never heard of..

MGC - Total intergration into forum.

My advice: Test them all, or find sites that use them. Prior to testing on YOUR forums, backup the forum db..... Always a good practice. Then decide which you and your users like. I've been using the chats for a few years and my personal choice is MGC due to support, updates, and just how it works.

If you would like help installing this on your site, send me a pm. I've helped numerous people get it going.
