Why not just get a Meebo or Chatango chat box? I had a chatango chat box on my old website and it was VERY easy to implement. Hell, I even got myself a BBfree2 (or something, it's been years) coded chat box that fit nicely on the front page.

:eek:;)

I looked at the stickam chat stuff and the room closes One hour after the last person leaves the chat. So unless someone can stay in the private room constantly we would have to keep making a chat room. Unfortunately I can't keep my browser open 24/7 since the kids would probably find it.

Yes chat room will be great. We can share more directly

They do have a chatroom but it is not accessible to normal members but staff only. Every forum software does come, usually with a 5 user licence, with one of those.

I co-run a documentary forum and allthough we use a different supplier, the cost of a full fledged chat will set them back about US-$ 25-40. It is the installation that need the attention. You don't want all the world to be able to listen in, do you. Espicially not google.

Now you've got me surprised, every forum software I ever licensed came with a free chat for at least 5 users.

Maybe it just hasn't been set up, it does require installation throught the ACP.

Or it is living proof that you learn something new every day. LOL

I just checked https://www.vbulletin.com the maker of that software. At first glance, there does not seem to be a chat feature included. :(

yes, there are a lot of guys that get agressive when small dick stuff is out there.

You're right Jo. I stand corrected. But there are recommendations for external chat addons here:

Same goes for a shoutbox, which would also be nice.

A chat room is a good way to meet and greet others
