At the time they barred it we had 30 users in chat :nervous:

This is a good chat program.. The only trouble I've had with the whole integration into VB is members closing the browser instead of logging out. They stay logged in when they do this. If you have members in chat showing on your main page they show as logged in until logged out. It would be nice if it would time out and log you out of chat like your logged out of vbulletin. Other than that its great! I'm using this on my site now.

Firstly you can add wording to the little red logout button so it says "Press to Log Out" (or similar) - making it much more obvious.

Secondly you can set the appropiate timeout so that if the user stops responding they are logged out automatically - I have mine at about 120 seconds I think (there is still one problem with this, it fails if they are the last person in the chat - until someone else logs in). You could probably cure this with a custom cron job.

Stay far away from this chat room, if you know what's good for you. The coding is inherently faulty - it constantly writes to simple text files, which add a tremendous amount of load to your server. The practical "cap" for this chat room is around 20-30 users, after which time, your system will begin to buckle under the pressure and you'll begin to receive many errors.

Kaelon - can you recommend another chat that integrates well into VBulletin (3.6.0) and is less load on the server?

i never had that problem with it, and we saw upto 75 users in there at a time.
