Just to give a little update to chains post. In no small part from err0r, we now have profiles working from the webchat. This will only work if the nick in chat is registered on the site. It's not perfect yet I still have to code it so that if the nick isn't registered on the site it will bring you to a page that tells you so. As it stands now it just brings you to the default ipb error page lol. I'm quite happy with the outcome so far, and thanks to err0r for all your help and advice with ipb it's more then greatly appreciated.
