I have pjirc running on my site now. I like it much better then Jpilot and its FREE!!! I didn’t integrate it in threads, though that would be easy, but I don't see a point for that since people who chat are usually also browsing the board. They prefer to have the chat in a separate window.
To have the username inserted in the chat would also be no problem, but since I use a channel on a big network the chances of someone else having registered the same name are fairly high and the chat script would then have to add a _or- to the username and automaticly rty logging in again.
For that my php knowledge is not good enough :-)))
I have it running at
http://chat.sat4all.com but you can easily open it in a new (small) "pop-up" window as well.
I have that in my drop down menu at
www.sat4all.com but because of some problems with the server mysql is not running and therefore the menu will not be displayed right now.
Regards,
Ron.
