First of all, you should login to the CPanel, and delete the excess database usernames and excess databases.

Are you trying to use a chat add-on which works with your forum?

What forum are you using?

You could use the exsiting DB and add the tables needed for your chat room script. Also, check out the mods for phpbb. I would imagine that they have a chat mod.

There is a story to this!

Lunarpages used to offer a board called "XBM forum".

There were big security problems discovered, so lunarpages changed to using phpBB.

To maintain compatibility with XBM forum and avoid making everyone change their settings, the database username is still the old one, with "xbm" in the name.

You don't need 5 of them, but I am reluctant to tell you to delete them, because you might delete the one you need.

I am unclear as to whether you said you had 5 usernames, or 5 databases. If you have 5 usernames, it doesn't matter, you can just ignore them.

If you are using the standard plan, you can only have 1 database. You can buy another database for $1 a month. To get it set up, please e-mail support@lunarpages.com

Do you want the usernames and passwords from your database to be used for the chat, or do you want it to be a seperate chat program?

If you want it to be seperate, it would be very easy to do. In fact, there is already a chat program in Cpanel which you can install. (I think it's in the CGI centre section).

Before we can go any further with this, I need you to tell me which forum you are using.

Are you using phpBB as supplied by lunarpages?

Goto phpbb.com and find a chat addon.

You may need to upgrade/download to a different version of phpbb for it to be compatible.
