Chatbox

[Presty Willow]

I want to put a chatbox on my forum at the bottom of my site. I found one not too far back and I like it because I can moderate the posts and it refreshes quickly and it generally easy to use. Not to mention it matches my site's colors PERFECTLY. The only bad part is the adds that have collected at the bottom of all the posting. Look Here: Http://z13.invisionfree.com/biotech_university

I either want to get the ads out ((there's no html to do so, I already checked)) or have another chatbox recommended. Any suggestions?

As the service is free they add adverts to cover the cost of running their site and the bandwidth and development that has gone into the project.

Most chatbox services have ads of some sort on the chatbox to cover their costs. I can't think of one at the moment without ads. Someone else might be able to.

I do but you won't like the service, and likely neither will your members. But here you go just the same.....

check this one out here!

It's free and has several templats to choose from (not as many as the one your using now but still), it has automatic word filter, and some other relatively standard features. However refresh is like once a minute (not that good) so you'll have to keep hitting the refresh at the far right.

There is also the option of a chatango. Alot of people seem to like those, but people (like me) who have browsers that don't support the level of Flash that they use won't be able to use it.

Still, I hope I helped.

They have ads though on the free version -😉-

I added the C-box and customized it so that it looks more compatible with my site. It's fine so far. Thanks for your help. =]

No problem, it's what I do 😀

Are talking about people posting there urls or you're talking about the url/email box thingy.
If you want the cbox to be intergrated here is a box.
I found on forumer.

THE phrase URL: "http://www.cbox.ws/box/index.php?boxid=886543&boxtag=0210" from the last 3 red coloured URLs should be the same with your Cbox Link, or else it wont work.

 

[Boss Jr.]

Actually, they are already using this c-box but a simpler version of the code which was received from the source site via the url I provided in my post above.

 

[Zenith]

Yea, but you don't have type your name. It's integrated into your site. Or just get Shoutx.

 

[Presty Willow]

I like the integrated aspect of this new shoutbox idea but I don't exactly know how to mess with the html to get it to work. Help?
