I would be very interested in using this mod if it supported 3.7
I am gonna be needing something JUST LIKE THIS when I do the next major upgrade to my website, which is going to be a jump to 3.7 from 3.6.7

As said in the post above yours........ If you have no idea what IRC is or how it is used, you should probably look for a different chat system for vBulletin.

You need to set a working irc server where it says irc.server.net

Once you do that, it'll stop working. To make it work again, edit the "vbjirc_java" template for your root style (or all styles if you don't do that), and change this:

<applet code="IRCApplet.class" archive="irc.jar,pixx.jar" height="$vbjirc[height]" width="$vbjirc[width]">

To this:

<applet codeBase="vbjirc/" code="IRCApplet.class" archive="irc.jar,pixx.jar" height="$vbjirc[height]" width="$vbjirc[width]">

Just the "codeBase" attribute is added, nothing else. It'll magically work, and you'll have your styles without copying them.

You are my godsend <3

Also, it works on vB3.7 RC1, you just have to do the template changes manually.

Does anyone know what causes this and a way to fix it?

Generally that error message is something to do with the IRC server, rather than the script... Are you connecting with the EXACT same IRC server in mIRC (Not just on the same network), and are you sure that mIRC isn't automatically rewriting your nickname for you?

Same here! I did have it running on 3.7 Beta 4, haven't tried with RC1. When it was running it did require some modification to look 'neat' mind you.

None. The only extra load will be the downloading of the applet to the browser rather than any processing, as Java is run clientside.
