PopUp Chat Like HumanClick !!

[xug]

I do not know if this is already around or requested, sorry if so.

I really would like to have something similar HumanClick have.

When a visitor or member clicks on a button he/she can instantly chat with the webmaster and visa versa.
I think this would be a great addition to my and many other sites.

Can somebody help me with this, please.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

I don't know what HumanClick is, but I have to say that I TOTALLY agree with you.

First of all I think that there's a great demand for an integrated CHAT function. See: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=33093

Second, I think that your idea is really fantastic. If I rememer correctly your suggestion is already on the wish-list for a future version. The idea you have is not really an integrated CHAT function, but an INSTANT MESSAGING one. But, I would like it VERY very much if your idea is implemented in a future version.

There are 2 kinds of chat I think:

1. Integrated CHAT.
- A CHAT is a room where you forum-members can logon to, so they can chat with all the other forum-members who are in the chat at that moment. The CHAT function HAS to have the ability to choose a chat-room/channel. For example....we run a website for people who suffer from a hairdisease like alopecia, chemo, trichotillomania, etc. We would like to have a chatfunction where you could choose a room/channel like 'alopecia' or 'chemo', so you can talk to people who suffer from the same disease.

2. Integrated INSTANT MESSAGING.
- Your idea is GREAT. Not everyone uses MSNM or ICQ, not everyone wishes to give away their MSNM or ICQ profile to our members, because privacy/anonymousity is VERY important to our members. We just NEED an integrated one in VBulletin! How many times have I wished that I could instantly contact a member of our forum, when I saw that he/she was online on our VBulletin-board! Many, many, many times!

We are dying for those 2 things in Vbulletin! We can't be the only one?

Your right on that, it's messaging.

That Humanclick option you don't see so much around on the net anymore, this was first a free option and a halve to a year ago we need to pay for it.
I still have it on another site of me and the main thing of humanclick is tracking you customer, you can code each and every page and through a life connection you can see where they are on that same moment.
When the customer had a problem they could click on a button and talk life with the owner or websmaster of that site, on the owners/webmasters computer there was an option build in that you could switch to offline/online, so when you was offline and they clicked on that button it will send the message as a private message which can be read when you want.

This instant messaging option was something real cool and lots of my regular customers have used it in the beginning.

Me too, because when I did see a customer jumping from page a to b and back and forth between these two I could just jump in and PM them.

This all was based on little popup windows where you and the customer just could simple type to eachother with nothing fancy around it, just plain simple.

If this will be integrated in a future VB than I know for sure you will make lots of people happy.

And that this option is available to everybody that visit your site, even non-members !
