The approaches i've so far using PHP is letting a script run (almost) infinitely and refresh the output every 500ms or so, but this will require a httpd-Process to run for every chatter, consuming several MB per User. Any other suggestions which will cause less server load? I don't think that refreshing the page on the clientside is a very clean solution, it really looks quite ugly. -- Grüße aus dem schönen Kleve Jens Kisters +++++++ neue Anschrift +++++++ rosomm et partner Agentur für neue Medien GmbH Dienstleistungszentrum am Weißen Tor - Eingang B Gocher Landstrasse 2 47551 Kleve / Bedburg-Hau Telefon: 02821 - 97856-20 Telefax: 02821 - 97856-77 j.kisters@rosomm-partner.de www.rosomm-partner.de
