Chat Box- Can you recommend an Add on?

Permalink
Hi There

I run a small site as an intranet with around 20 members split over 2 sites.
I am looking for a block that is a "chat box" where anyone on the team can post a comment that is visible by the rest of the team viewing the same page.

Can anyone recommend a suitable add on

Many thanks
Fraser

Hi, would a page with a comments/guesbook block on it, not be sufficient? you can turn off admin approval, and anyone can just post to it.

Alternatively there is this:

Its along the same lines of the guesbook block, I used it recently for a pretty similar purpose to you.

Regards

You can also add the included guestbook block to any page to essentially give that page comments.

I should note that there is a more fleshed out guestbook block called advanced comments that is free in the marketplace and it pretty great.

Thanks for the feedback, Taken a look at it and it looks ideal.
Pretty new to C5 but do you know if its settings can be tweaked so that the most recent comment is shown at the top of the list rather than the bottom?
Or a way to make maybe just the last 5-10 comments to be viewable without scrolling - almost in an iFrame style

Thanks again for taking the time to post
