This is a very very easy hack to install and must be one of the easiest and best free ways to add chat to your forums. This hack uses Eirc java applets to connect to World IRC servers. There is no need to sign and compile Eirc yourself or even host it or a irc server, simply follow these instructions and you will have FREE, full, IRC chat on your forums in under 2 minutes...
For a demo, checkout the chat running here at vbullettin.org ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/chat.php? ) as it uses the same java applets and basicly is the same as this hack...
Once you have installed the hack pop into #austech and say hello...
Thanks & Enjoy...
Although Version 1.0 for VB2.2.x is still working and also still available, I DO NOT offer support for it...

I just had this chat hack set up on my forums,http://www.moneytec.com/chat/ but when entering from my site we go to a public room. Is there a way to set this to a private room where my site members can discuss topic's pertaining to my sites content
I spent eternity trying to make this work, without succes.
It wasn't until I took the index.php from the chat dir, renamed it chat.php and put it in my forum root dir, that I made it work.
I hope someone else might benefit from doing the same - and that someone smarter than me can possibly tell me if there are any problems with that procedure.
I set it all up, and it seems to work nicely, there's just 1 thing tho. The Username won't show up, instead my nick sais: "Unregistered". I can still change it after logging in, but it would be nice if the vbulletin nick would could be carried over. I'm using 2.2.6
If this is already released, could someone please direct me to the thread as I can't find it.
Now I installed this, and what I am hoping for is a way to send an invite to members that are browsing the boards and not in the chat. Also, if there is a way for the users in chat to be displayed on the forum index page, so they can see who is in before they even join?
That would be real sweet!
Thanks for your time,
Heineken
