A realtime chatbox can be built in a couple of ways

using IRC as its base (fast, but that makes it complicated to use and needs java/flash).
using HTML as its base (easy and compatible, but that makes it very slow, compared the the other)
using PHP/MySQL/Ajax (a kind of trade-off between speed and ease of use, but it needs php/mysql/ajax )

got it. thanks a lot for the sum-up. Very Happy

The cbox and the forum's chat are HTML based, but you see that autorefresh is impossible and speed is horrible.

didn't seem to me that the forum's chatbox was as slow as this one... but at least we had smileys, and more people are used to it! so i'd go for the old chatbox - setting it as Nym suggested, just in the bottom of index page and not opening in a new window. that's how it's seen on most forums. What do you guys think?

free hosted forums are not the right option as soon as you wanna have complete freedom, that's for sure. but as i said the other day, i'm pretty sure there's a way to export the database if creating our own; i really have to write the admin of the forum i'm thinking about.

So, as it may seem that I'm sitting idle, I'm working as hard as time allows me. And I'm sorry for not being able to respond here very often. So stay tuned, eventually I will be able to figure out something grin

eh, we never doubt this!! kiss

Qestion: if we set the old chatbox on the bottom of the page, will it stop loggong us out? Smile
