Chat solution, that integrates with VBulliten forums

Question

I'm wondering if there any software that adds the chat capability of on page chat (facebook-like), to the VBulliten forum system, with the following requirements:

1. Requires no plugins (Pure JavaScript) or has alternatives (Uses anyone that available of Flash, or Silverlight of Java).or just throw a link.
2. Integrates with the members system, utilizes the Username, User avatar.
3. Utilizes the friendship featues that is already implemented in VBulliten. So you can see online friends and private-chat with them. And if it supports the public chat rooms it will be better.

I would like to hear about software you've experienced: commercial, property free-ware, or free/open-source. And what services they offer or just a brief about their Pros/Cons from your point of view.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I've used CometChat for my vBulletin forum. It works great and is really feature loaded. I have been using their video chat version and my members love it. As for your question, it integrates with username, avatar as well as friends system of vBulletin.
