Default Chat Feature?

Any thoughts on adding periodic chats or a chat room for folks to hang in?

I sort of enjoyed that on SBS.

I am not sure how easy it is to get something like that going.

I brought that up and we are looking into it.

It's a lot of work, I remember from SBS, to get a chat with vB.

I really would like to. Times like now, when so many are here, it would be great to chat.

It seems that there is no good add on chat feature that works very well with vB. There is a very, very basic version. I guess it all depends on how much and often it would be used. But certainly not if it will slow the forum down.

Yes, but getting it to work on vB is the challenge.

Another forum that I used to frequent had a chat that was "plugged into" vB. Basically it allowed single sign-on between the forum and the chat room. I believe, however, that it wasn't a vB chat room. I'll have to go back to that forum and see how they did it.

Here is what they use: FlashChat - Customizable Flash Chat Room and Live Support system for your PHP/MySQL-enabled website. Try it now!

It is a very nice chat client. I didn't notice a slowdown when they implemented it either. If you look at the page it has directions on how to integrate into vB and other boards.

Can you just use it as a link and I have no problem creating a account to go on some chat site.
