I tried this out and liked it, and decided to pay the $10.00 for the Premium version.
So got the link to the download and installed and got an error message as I mentioned in my last post. Sent an email to the Author with the issue as well stating that he should support his product here and fix the issues that I have and the others.

I just got an update for the Premium version from the Author and it is now working. I hope and trust that he will update those the purchased the Premium version, if not get onto his site and leave him an email.

SUGGESTION
----------------

It would be nice if, when you click on the chatbox "Tab", that you get a drop down box or something else that would allow you to select from a list of channels.

In other words, my forums deal with multiple products and each product has its own IRC channel. So, it would be nice to have a solution for that.

Well, I tried to go to the site linked in order to buy a full version of this addon. However, my registration was denied as a spammer (no reason given.)

I tried sending a message on that site, but didn't get a response.

Any ideas?

How to make it use users' nicknames in chat?

[rbc1225]

From the looks of things here there is terrible support, so am removing it. Looks like it has potential but without support is useless.

pjirc.chat-zip is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous...

do u even scan the files befor u upload them for others... how do we know there is no virus inside this folders.. that can hack ur passwords etc i suggest u scan all files befor u upload...

[SupremeWeapon]

Does this not work with 4.2.0? Installed everything looks correct, when you go to chatbox.php your copyright info is there and what not but no java chat is loading or anything.

1.2 has been released! Demo added back to thread, but keep in mind it uses pro features. Also added a new screenshot.

It's not got over 1 million downloads, so in Google Chrome it says it's not commonly downloaded. It's safe, if you still have concerns, you can download all of PJIRCs files from here, and replace them in the irc directory.

Also keep getting a java error message, does anyone know how I can fix this or disable it and should I have a concern about this error message.

No that occurs even in PJIRC, I have yet to find a way to bypass that. It can be set as trusted and then it won't bother you anymore. I have to do that with this mod, and any Java game I play online.

Thanks for the feedback, I am happy you are enjoying the product, look out for an update to it soon!

As far as the free version, there were a couple bugs that needed addressing, they have been fixed. Please download the new PJIRC Chat 7-10-13.zip file and upload the pjirc.xml to overwrite. You do not need to reupload any files except for the product xml.
