Usually the socket in use command comes when either the ircrefresh command is in the process of being executed, or the topic refresh is being executed. Try giving it 15 seconds of an idle chatroom and then type /ircrefresh -- if it still gives you an error message, then I would have to guess that something from the webhost is keeping the socket open. I feel bad that this worked for me but isn't working for anyone else.
TyleR and I are working on another IRC Channel Information script that will require the use of mIRC but it does not require sockets to update the website. So far, it's updating the tables perfectly, but I'm 100% entirely blind as to integrating it into VBulletin. So, once it's integrated to display the information in VBulletin, we'll thoroughly tested it to make sure it works. We'll keep you all posted and when it's all set for release we'll of course post it up here for everyone.
sorry folks, had an ice storm here yesterday, didnt get power back til about 3 hours ago..i'll get back to y'all on errors, as this might soon be unsupported as an easier concept will be coming out thanks to meissenation.
Great to see this hack live on with vB3.5. I'm sorry I never got around to rewriting it for vB3.5.
I haven't DLed it, but did you switch from GET to POST? GET limits the # of users you can do to about 100. I rewrote it to do POST and was *finished* with the code (it was a beast) and then mIRC bombed and destroyed aliases and remote which contained all the code.
As for people asking for Eggdrop, FTP, etc. those require some kind of linkage application to be running on the server. The beauty of this script is that all that is required to have a current list of users on your forum home page is for 1 person to have a copy of mIRC connected to the chatroom in the background. Either nobody considered the idea or nobody was mental enough to try this with mIRC scripting.

Curious how you're doing this. Mind PMing me some code to look at?

Kudos, TyleR!
Curious to hear what this other idea is...
hmm, never considered changed to _POST..might just have to though.
And for the other idea: it's just a script within mIRC, somewhat like yours, but totally from scratch, that also goes to a file on thew server to drop info into the DB..I do believe it is what's on meissination's site at the moment, www.mifbody.com/vbulletin/ just integrated into the one here
