What It Does:

With VBM your members can login to the messenger with thier membership details , add other members to thier contact list (for VB 3.7 contacts are the friends in the friend list) , communicate with each other with smilies , fonts , colors ... , also they will be notified about newest forum posts and threads and view "last 10 posts" in the forum in an easy and fast way with a "Read More" button that will open the thread/post when clicked .
VBM has a public chat room , that can be accessed by all members that use the messenger .
Your members will know about the newest posts in the forum and will open the new post in a new browser window once they click the notification , which means a more active forum members and a better moderation .

Features:

- VBM is easy to install and manage .
- VBM Means less resources required from your website server (MySQL Queries > CPU , Bandwidth) .
- VBM Means a more living forum , and a better moderation .

- It is easy to install and manage your VBulletin Messenger system .
- Fully Supported
- VBM takes less queries from DATABASE and takes less resources/bandwidth because it dosen't have to load the pictures/CSS/backgrounds or any other files from your server , it only loads a small list of online/offline contacts with information about last 10 posts and threads in the forum , which takes about 10-15 queries and max of 5kb-15kb transfere which is less a 1000-10000 times from only opening the forum home page .

Installation:

1 - Download the Server Side Script and Open the file "include.php" and edit the database details to match these of your forum config.php entries

2 - Upload all the PHP files in the "vbmsngr" directory in the root directory of your website "/public_html/" (You may need to create the "/public_html/vbmsngr" folder) .

3 - Tell your members and/or moderators about The Messenger Installation Pack which is the messenger desktop software
Every one who installs this software and have a membership in your forum can chat to each other .

To login to the messenger use your user name then the "@" sign then your forum URL . example : me@myforum.com , enter your password and you're in !!!
You can make a subdomain and add the Server Side Script in it , but then no one can login to the messenger unless they know the subdomain address .

Notes:
- Messenger accepts only usernames and passwords in english chars! ( other languages support coming soon! )
- There will not be any options of editing the [Sitename] Messenger / theme / skin / removing the @domain.com login method unless in custom versions , please refer to the website .

WOW Wicked Sick! LOL Sorry about that! This looks awesome! Is there a chat log for admins? On my board due to age of members I must be able to see all chats in a log. Is that an option?

[Amman-DJ.CoM]

there are currently no chat logs , because private messaging between members is thier privacy , for future versions there maybe a log for the public chat room , we just released this version to see what more it needs . and thank you for the comment .

And about support , we provide support for installation / uninstallation , usage or any other problems you may encounter with the messenger .

Note:
None English Usernames will not work on this mod

Does this mean that English Usernames aren't supported? *Confused*

[Amman-DJ.CoM]

no KuJoe , that means the messenger accepts only usernames and passwords in english , any other language is not supported yet . but chatting and communicating in any other language is OS dependable .

any idea on resource compare to a chat room ?
I mean for example does this hack use more resourse than flash chat ?
