Dprice - Thanks for getting in touch! Let me answer your questions:

1) We don't have an enable / disable checkbox from the admincp at the moment. You can restrict who it gets displayed to though (admins, logged-in users, or everyone) using a dropdown in the Envolve Chat settings. An enable / disable feature could be added in the future though if it would be helpful.

2) Yes! We allow you to display the chat to everyone but require users to login to actually participate. We even allow you to set a "grace period" for guest users so they can start chatting a little bit before signing in. We can then direct those users to *your* sign-in page so that they can register for a new account. This way we can help you get more registered users. We also provide single sign-on so that the chat automatically picks up your vBulletin usernames and your users don't have to sign in seperately. Both of these features require a paid account.

3) That list shows chats that you have closed that are still "active" on the site. These chats will time out eventually, or if you are an admin (and logged into envolve as such... again, you'll need single sign on to do this automatically) then you'll have the option of removing the chat entirely when you close it. It will then not be shown publicly anymore.

You might want to poke around our admin panel to see all the options. www.envolve.com/admin (click on "My Sites" to edit your site's options)
There's also a dropdown in the vBulletin options (where you entered the API key) where you can select who to display the chat to.

Hope that helps!
