Here is the Guide for EzPortal.  It is already installed on your forum.   Go to Admin > look down the left side and you will see the EzPortal Category there.

Hey Matt ;)

We have this already installed on both the BSL forum and the SME forum, so you do't have to worry about it, i did it already ;)

But it would be nice to have an actual Chatbox that you dont have to refresh the page to submit a reply or see new messages, kind of like what phpBB has.

Just a suggestion, you know? Really useful for staff talk only, and forum meetings, with all clan members....

Integrated chats that auto refresh put a heck of a load on the server.

There are shoutboxs out there, that if you pay for them, do autorefresh  .. cbox is one I know of.

The Main reason i don't like shout boxes is it decreases people posting on a forum. Why make a post when you can just chat.

The Portal you are using , Legacy Portal, does not have a Shoutbox.   EzPortal does.   If you have a test forum try messing with EzPortal there to see how you like it.
