I installed the mod in my VB4 test forum.
Now my home page with the GCBOS chat open and enabled keeps "refreshing" indefinitely. About every 30secs (+/-) there is a request going from my browser to my server.
With hundreds of visitors in my forum I can imagine a major performance impact. I currently use "Cyb ChatBox" on my VB3.8 production server with no major performance impact (or at least its manageable). With Cyb ChatBox I can configure a timeout when a client is considered no longer active and no new chat entries will be delivered. A user will time out and I as admin can control it. I also restricted Chat access to only registered members to lower overhead.
How does GCBOS work? Will it time out? Can I configure it? Imagine all the users that walk away from their computer and leave my forum home page open.
Performance is important.
