User has to click un-collapse button if he wants to enter a message. Hope you understood that.
I took a quick browse through the comments to see if anyone has had the same problem.
Anyhow I installed this and really like it but had to disable it due to some serious lag in the chatbox between users. Everyones commented that their chats are taking too long to appear. Any idea why this is happening and how I could fix it since I'd like to continue to use this chat box.

This defaults to 30 seconds when you install chatbox. I wouldn't recommend setting it below 10 seconds though. This addon isn't really designed to handle a large volume of live chat. I use it on my arcade pages just so users can communicate with each other. It works great for that purpose. I didn't want to use my regular chat system on the arcade pages.
On my site, I also use a product called Addonchat, which integrates into vBulletin very well. They have a free version and several paid versions. (I use the Professional Plus... $125/year) The companies server handles the chat which is ok.... it uses their bandwidth, not yours. Read all about it here: http://www.addonchat.com/
The product works very well and has my highest recommendation.
Hum, do you have uploaded the chatbox js file into the clientscript directory ?
I have it loaded into "/public_html/includes/clientscript/" is this the correct location, or should it be in "/public_html/clientscript/" along with the vbulletin.js ??
