I've been waiting on this for the longest time.
Finally I can put my $75 to very, very good use.
Thank you so much Grim.

wow, been waiting for this too. it would be great if you could mouseover the 'chat' link and a list of who's chatting dropped down, but that's probably not possible. I'll move the who's chatting link to the chat link though. Is there a way to have a line of text on the forum index that says "x number of users are currently in the chat", I'm wary of using that option from other chat rooms because they never seem to update properly. Anyway, will look into this chat program now. thanks!

Damn.
How much extra would I have to pay for the platinum account. I have the one right before Platinum and my chat-room doesn't show up any more now.

mine doesnt show up now either - and im on the free acct -- i tried to put it in a forum and all i get is a gray screen -- althought i do get the welcome sound all i get on the screen is this (screenshot)

Is there an issue with the different account levels?

I have had the SigmaChat (free) integration installed on vb2 and vb3 (not with this particular hack), and there have been issues of being able to connect to the chat room from some locations, particularly from network systems which may be caused by a firewall. Or is this a totally different issue?

[joeychgo]

I think it is totally different cause I had no troubles with the chatroom before isntalling this hack

[Vb-Hispano]

is very good¡¡¡

thanks

A few of you have private messaged me saying the hack doesn't work -- ironically, it's working perfect for me The problem appears to be an issue with the Java Virtual Machine. The Microsoft version (MVM) is not working and shows a gray screen (this is because we're using 100% x 100% in the table for the applet width/height) although the Sun JVM works perfectly.

I've uploaded a new version of the hack to correct this problem. For those of you who installed v1.0.0, simply replace the sigmachat_embed and sigmachat_popup templates with the templates attached to this posting.

Nope -- didnt work
