I've been using this on a site for over a year now and my users love it! I choose to have the chat room hosted on TopCMM's server to preserve my bandwidth and they took care of everything.

After having tried other chat room services I would highly recommend this product to any Joomla site owner looking for a fast, robust solution.
The free version of this product is great. It's a demo, that works very well, but the demo gives you little control over what users can and cannot do. I would NOT use the free version for anything but adults only access. There are other chat channels available that you cannot shut off available to any user that logs in.

The one complaint about support is simply unfair. This is essentially an extremely robust COMMERCIAL product. The free version is to show you what the paid version can do, and it does that job very well. There is NO such thing as a cheap chat room with this kind of capability (video and sound). No one should expect support for free for this kind of thing. I didn't buy it, but I have used the free demo. It's a great product but it's really only worth the money for an enterprise operation. If you've got a small site that only adults will use, the free demo is great.
I've used 123flashchat for the last couple of years on OohYa Chat and in my opinion is one of the best commercial chat software solutions out there.

In response to the support comment above, you really won't get very far asking the live desk sales support when it comes to technical issues. You really need to contact support@123flashchat.com where in my experience they have gone above and beyond to help us with technical issues, including integrating Joomla and community builder profiles with the chat software.

Thank you, Sfraise!
We will try our best to do better and better:-)

I set up a online daing website and was looking for a chat room with it. I was fortunate that I found 123 Flash Chat, not just because it is terrific itself, but also it can be integrated with Joomla i am using!

Now, the registered users of my website does not need to register with the chat room again and after they log in the website, they can enter the chat room directly with the same account with out imputing the account/pw again.

The integration can make the chat room even more convenient for your users. You can explore it!
It's easy to use while with kinds of functions that I can chat with others in a real-time condition.I really like it.On one hand,there are some shotcut buttons, remarkable name colors and so on which can let me chat more conveniently.The GUI of 123 Flash Chat is friendly and customizable .On the other hand,the response is quite fast and it takes on good security protection for users.So we can chat with our friends effectively and freely without worry.
