how do i instal a xat chat box into my forum.?

Well i looked for an "idiots guide to installing your chat box" and couldn't find one.. Instead i keep getting a forum with the entire embed code wrote out and displayed instead of the chat box.

I tried creating a catagory named chat with a forum and the html code in the description as the xat site advised with the same results.. Either i'm a complete idiot (probly the case) or I seem to be missing something here.. Anyone know what i need to do to install the chat box to the forum i've begun to create.

Hi, this is a short instruction on how to install external chat box.
1. Go to AdminCP > BBcode > create a new BBcode
BBcode usage:
Quote:
[chatbox][/chatbox]
HTML replacement:
Quote:
put your chatbox code here
2. Go to Forums administration > put the above BBcode tags into the forum descriptions.

That's all. If you have any questions please let me know.

...?

Yeah like i said I'm a complete idiot at these things.. what your saying is to put [chatbox] then the embedable HTML code for the chatbox followed by [/chatbox] in the bbcode usage box. And then the plain embedable html code into the HTML replacement box.? I tried that, it accepted the bbcode but i can't see the chat box anywhere.. I know i know.. I'm a code idiot LOL but this is my first time attempting to learn this and i'd appreciate any and all help. If it helps the embedable code for the chatbox is

<embed src="http://www.xatech.com/web_gear/chat/chat.swf" quality="high" width="540" height="405" name="chat" FlashVars="id=80848624" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="xat.com: Update Flash" /><br><small><a target="_BLANK" href="<A href="http://xat.com/web_gear/?cb">Get">http://xat.com/web_gear/?cb">Get your own Chat Box!</a> <a target="_BLANK" href="<A href="http://xat.com/web_gear/chat/go_large.php?id=80848624">Go">http://xat.com/web_gear/chat/go_large.php?id=80848624">Go Large!</a></small><br>

I thank you in advance for having to deal with my ignorance and lack of tech talk. LMAO

I think it is not showing up because you are missing the closing </embed> tag. Please try to use the following code and let me know if the problem is still there.

HTML Code:
<embed src="http://www.xatech.com/web_gear/chat/chat.swf" quality="high" width="540" height="405" name="chat" FlashVars="id=80848624" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="xat.com: Update Flash" /></embed>

Well... I copy and pasted the "code" you rewrote for me, yet it still does not show up.. At this point I feel as though I'm a lost cause, It accepts the bbcode but doesn't display a chatbox anywhere..
