We need a little more info. Like where are you trying to display your chat? Have you set permissions, turned it on? Things like that.

Well, I thought that's what I was doing.

Go to your Style Manager and create a new style with No Parent. Then browse your forum in that style to see if the chatbox displays there. If it does, then you have some template edits that are causing the problem. You would need to compare the forumhome templates to see what's missing, like maybe a template_hook.
