On June 10th, Mike Butcher will bring TechCrunch back to Berlin! We have already been at the last event in 2008 wich was awsome and also gave us the opportunity to interview Mike, so make sure to get the last tickets and for all startups: apply for pitching (if you are from Germany or Austria)!

Looking forward to see you there!

toksta* IM plugin now available for SMF


Simple Machines Forum
(SMF) which is based on PHP and MySQL is a free and very popular bulletin board that allows you to set up your own online community easily.

Its powerful custom made template engine puts you in full control of the lay-out of your message board and with our unique SSI - or Server Side Includes - function you can let your forum and your website interact with each other.

The plugin is available at the official MOD database of Simple Machines Forum: Toksta Integration (Thanks to Fustrate who has written this plugin!)

If you need help during the installation process, feel free to contact our support team.

toksta chat rooms (beta) released!

Today we released the beta version of our toksta chat rooms application. I can’t remember if there has ever been a feature (or rather an application) requested as heavily as the chat room!! And as requested we kept the UI simple and clean to minimize chances that the layout of the chat room does not fit the design of your community. Or in other words: to maximize the possibility for you to customize the chat. Because similar to our toksta video im, the chat is fully design customizable through css.

The beta version of the chat room also features:

  • up to 25 people per room
  • unlimited private chats
  • css design customization
  • easy administration and user moderation
  • a lightweight html and javascript client
  • and much more!
Check out a screenshot below:

If you register as a new user at www.toksta.com, you get a 15-day free trial on all plans and applications including the chat room application. After the 15-day free trial, we charge 15.00 USD per 30 days for each chat room. If you have an existing toksta account, please check if you are still in the trial period in order test the chat room for free for the remaining days.

 

And as always: Please let us know your feedback and questions at support [at] toksta [dot] com ;-)
