We have vB 3.6.x and are looking for a chat software to be tightly integrated with VB. We might be interested in your professional version but how do we test this with your free version first. Can download the code from here or should we have to start this process at your site. We are running on a shared hosting environment - would that be okay? Thanks.

First, sign up for a free account at http://www.addonchat.com/signup.html

You'll be assigned an account number beginning with SC- (listed in your My Services page in your Customer Control Panel)

eMail that to support@addonchat.com and request a two week trial upgrade to the Pro PLUS version, and we'll get that going ASAP. After that, install the mod, and see if you like it

I have this chat room on my site and its great. I have quite a few mods and there was some additional coding I needed to get this to all work with my menus. I had a coder on this site do that and he was great to and it didnt take too long. I had some minor issues and contacted AddonChat and they fixed what my issues were right away.

My chat room is for members only and the side menu doesnt show up for non members

hmmm wow sounds good. i have been looking for a java chat solution for a while. i will definitely try out the 2 week trial and if all goes well will pay for an annual subscription. more than i wanted to pay but it seems like the best option when flashchat is no longer sufficient.

[daddygrim]

nice chat!!!! but it's hard to install

[ravencr]

Is this the best option for chat? Will it tell you who's chatting on each page?

Chris

[joshskeety]

Is there a way to get it to see who is chatting like Flashchat does in the bottom of the index page rather than in an option on the nav bar. I do not like that one bit about this hack, but other than that its definitely the best chat hack out there.

Thanks,

Josh

So flashchat is better, then?
