You can configure it as a shoutbox instead of a chatbox - i.e., log people out fairly quickly and change the title so they don't expect to hang out there.

Your only other choice is to use a hosted chatbox like http://www.addonchat.com/.

I have had this installed for sometime now and the members love it but I recently ran into a small problem. I was requested ad space on my forum in which I sold the space below the navbar which is prime space due to the chatbox being their but when I added the banner through the admin control panel it conflicts with the chatbox. Anytime someone clicks on the chatbox to enter a comment, it redirects them to the location of the banner.

I have instaled this in a new installation vBulletin 4.2.0 PL1 and find two problems or bugs.

1? Problem - The install pack dont have icons so i resolved with this help:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2339

2? Problem/Bug - The chatbox Moderators can view IPs
If i choose to not show IPs to Mods in options vbulletin to prevent the mods to check IPs, this Add-on dont have any limitation to this and show the users IPs in:
vsa_chatbox_dropdown
vsa_chatbox_archive_bit

To resolve go to style manager and remove this code from: vsa_chatbox_archive_bit and vsa_chatbox_archive_bit

Code:

<vb:if condition="$vsacb_msg_arc[userip]">
					<li>
						<a href="online.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=resolveip&amp;ipaddress={vb:raw vsacb_msg_arc.userip}">IP: {vb:raw vsacb_msg_arc.userip}</a>
					</li>
				</vb:if>

I hope in future you add an option to remove the options to checks IPs from users.

Good Addon:up:

Best Regards

its possible put two chatbox onto forumhome? but to different user groups?

So we can monitor the content and not have to type the same screen that the users of the forum.

Any help is welcome

No, this chatbox doesn't have an option to show different boxes to different groups. In fact, I don't recall seeing something like that for any chat boxes (but it's been a while since I was looking).

Actually, MGC Chatbox Evo has the ability to create usergroup chat tabs which is only visible to specific groups.
