Installation/Upgrade
See included readme file.

Demo
You can see a demo here (You can can register a new account, or use the Login, "Ideal Chat Demo", and password, "chatdemo") This demo is of the pro version which can be found here!

Support
This modification is released for free, and as such we don't officially support it; however, as time permits we will try to offer support on it. We will NOT be monitoring this thread on a daily basis, your best bet for a fast reply would be to go post here.


Common Issues/Topics
Chat Bar Don't Show Up?
Have you configured the usergroup settings? This is the most common issue we see, and 99% of the time it is due to usergroup settings not being configured properly. So if your bar is not showing up, please verify your usergroup settings before reporting it as an issue.

Messages Don't Show Up?
We are aware of an issue causing messages to not show up for some people, and are looking into fixes.

Modification Has Conflict With Another Product
There is always a chance that two products will conflict with each other! We are aware of some, but please feel free to tell us about any products you find to conflict via our Bug Tracker on our site.

Chat Doesn't Support Certain Characters
The chat can only support the characters your board itself can support! If you would like to support certain characters, you must have your board using a charset that supports them. We have only ever once noticed a chat that didn't support every character the board did, and we are looking in it.

Chat Kills My Server
We have tested the chat extensively for server friendliness, and have found it to be very gentle on servers. We have seen the script run with hundreds of active users without putting hardly any load on the server. However, an improperly configured server may result in any reverse-AJAX/push-AJAX/Comet based chat script killing the server. If you find that your server slows down after installation, you may want to talk with your host about raising your MySQL and Apache Max Connection Limits to a more appropriate amount!

I can not wait until tis is fixed and working.

One question is it possible to customize the look?
Also does it take its style from the forum skin being used or is it the standard white bar as shown ?

There are style vars in place to allow you to customize the look some, but any major changes you would like to make would need to be done in the css itself.

I'm not sure what the issue is here... F5 is a refresh key (In most browsers), and obviously the bar should show after it has been installed and you have refreshed the page.

Am I missing something in your statement?

Version 1.1.1 of Ideal Chat Lite has now been released.

If you are running an older version, please update as version 1.1.1 contains several bug fixes that will improve performance!

If you we're having the issue with the friends list, settings, and chatroom links not working, please try this new version. If you still have those issues using version 1.1.1, please let us know so we can investigate further.

1.1.1 solved my initial problems. Here are the new ones:

-When I click on a friend online and send a message it doesn't show up for myself or them unless I refresh the page. Does not show up real time.

-Chatroom does the same thing.

-Getting lots of Error: Reload messages

-Id still like to see everyone online, not just friends.
