I've had to change the chatbox to a simpler version as the other one was still crashing the forum for some people. This one only works on the main forum page, which is fine for generic chat.
However I've found a new plugin, but as it will cost $65 I'll ask if people think it'll be useful.

This works exactly the same way as the chat on Facebook, and along with the above chatbox does not add as much bandwidth to the forum as the old scripts.

uhmm..so you can chat with only one person at a time with that software..just like Facebook...no conference chat???

The conference chat is on the forum home page, the other is for one-2-one. Both different solutions giving users a choice.

Simpler and cheaper to use one of the various existing chat options such as the various IM protcols?
But i guess it does have a use that two people on here may wish to chat possibly one time but have no wish at least when they begin the chat of giving the other their contact details.
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
Maybe, but not everyone has accounts, whereas all members on here instantly have an account they can contact other members on. I'm still thinking about it, but not many options around.
DOM: The chatbox is here: http://filipinaroses.com/forum.php ....and the other one isn't installed. But your computer should no longer crash on the forum, as mine has been doing.

Although there is a space at the top for shoutbox, it is forever showing as loading.
I tried to post a couple of times, and I don't know if it has gone through.
I followed your link and then I can see it, added on favourites, but the shout box disappears again...
You do know that the problem is actually with your browser Dom, as no one else reports the problems you have.... it's a Chelski virus
What version are you on.... don't say IE5/6

I haven't been able to read the forum all afternoon, just says shoutbox loading, then a blank page?
Getting fed up, as having nothing but problems with the forum.
Just hang in there, it is just a couple of glitches which will be resolved soon enough.I haven't been able to read the forum all afternoon, just says shoutbox loading, then a blank page?

Right, last Chatbox attempt... the one now you can't get a more stripped down version
Keith - Administrator
Well that failed, caused the forum to hang
Ah well, two solutions left.
1. No chatbox, but folk do seem to like it
2. A popup chatbox, which is the only solution. Problem is, if you have a popup blocker which most have it won't appear

can i go for the No. 1 option boss?
i like the chatbox
''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''
It was working fine here, without any problems....
I lost it
''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''
I've never had a single problem with the chatbox, and thats on a pretty slow connection and with some dodgy virus on my laptop
I'll see if I can include a 3rd party one, that does not use this servers resources and slows everyone else down.
Keith - Administrator
thanks boss..can u send me the link for the fullpage chatbox link please
(maybe i fiddled my settings)

Sorry to be a spoilsport ... but [personally] I'm happier without it, to be honest! I found it soooooooo frustrating ... having put a lot of concentrated thought and effort into my contributions ... to discover that my posts frequently weren't getting through. Not good for the old blood pressure at MY time of life!
Nearly threw the laptop out the window earlier!
There must be something or the other, out there that works...
I quite liked the last effort, didn't show any problems at all...
Please Boss I wish you would reconsider....
I never really had any problems with the chat-box, just that one of the later versions the other day worked a bit slow. I really hope that we can get one to work ok eventually.
Was there any certain browsers where it seemed to work better or worse?
IE8 Was problematic, and Chrome.Was there any certain browsers where it seemed to work better or worse?
