===========

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 .

almost the same , but the idea here is that your members won't have to wait for the flash chat to reload with every page changed , wich means reload of the whole SWF file which vary in size , and more queries to the database to reset/modify the user is logged in or not or any other information , plus this is a desktop application which means your members will be using it even when they close the explorer window , thus i may provide algorithims for coders to help any coder of a flash chat to integrate the messenger chat into a flash chat or ajax one .

Plus why to load an ajax / flash chat for a user that is not willing to enter the chat room ?

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

On one of my other boards I might have to try this out.

For a board that has minors though, if you ask me, in a chat room or IM program public or private there must be a log of what goes down. I have a international classroom board where teachers and parents as well as students interact. The parents love and demand everything their children do and say gets monitored and recorded.

we can do paid modofications for the messenger , but for privacy you maybe should let the members know thier chat logs will be recorded .
