help me with a chatroom


The easiest thing to do would be to use a hosted chat solution. If you have to install, tell us what software you're using and we'll see if we can figure something out.


Yes indeed. What's your price range?


This may Sound completly un related, but who is your web host?


It isn't unrelated, does it support PHP and stuff? And maybe it comes with a chat room, that's allways convenient ^-^. My website did. It's mostly there for me and my friends who dont use I/M though :)


Yea thats what I had in mind Ricky. :wink: Mine came with one as well. I dont use it though.lol


Thank you all! My website host is nexus-solutions, and, although the man there told me his time costs money, he has told me for free that they support ASP. What a guy! Have a look at my site: www.thirdage.org.uk Any suggestions futher?????? Mark :D


OK, I'm going to name a few that I know of, and you can judge them for yourself. A webbased one is very cheap, and if you can stomach the ads, free. http://www.parachat.com/ ParaChat Java based chat. Personal version is free with admin control. Fee based professional version available, without ads, and extensive admin control. (I haven't tried this one...) www.bravenet.com (Never used bravenet'sc chatroom but their other services are OK) www.cjb.net http://www.quickchat.org/ (never tried...looks dubius...)


Ricky, thanks. i have tried a couple of the free versions you gave me. Bravenet andthe first one. I really like the one you have on your site, and i want to try it on a page i have made in keeping with the rest of my site, including my own button to the chatroom. Any chance of a tryout??? If it works, I know my boss will be ok with anything it costs. Mark. :idea:


All this is great. its up-and-running........have a look! www.thirdage.org.uk :o


Can you say cool? Rock on. Glad you got it working! Hey, i'm sorry, i haven't been here for a while. My chat room is actually a very limited chat room. ie. four persons and comes free with my webhost. So far there isn't really a lot of demand for it. I use it personaly with some friends. That's the only reason it's really there. Good job getting that up!
