as it is, it’s not secure - and there’s no way to authenticate who is who - this is opening the door to trouble in my opinion…many a chat program has surfaced and so far IRC is the most effective. if it can’t be tied in to the main database with kirupa’s persmission and quite frankly i don’t know if i like the idea of a forum user’s software accessing the database with my password in it… it’s a great idea, but more thought needs to be put into this again in my opinion before it starts rolling out mainstream. ---

prstudio, we had it so it detected the username from a code that kirupa added… but it just stopped working… so after a day of trying to figrure it out we had to start it like this. we could put an Ip finder tool i guess… and no ones lied yet. edit… and we didnt really go in the database, if you look at the code for the main page it says welcome (and then your username) well kiruap can create codes that make it so it finds out your username, and he put that in a certain section that our thing read… so it dosent go into all the important stuff. ---

no clue what the heck you just said… talk to Rvgate… hes the coder… hes hosting the chat on his site… maybe thats the problem, it cant get from his site and read the code from kirupa. ---
