i installed the most popular chat mod on smf forums called ajax chat. i am certain i did everything correctly.
but when i try to test it i get a 403 on byethost. ive also had problems with phpbb
this must mean that byethost must not allow ajax
does anyone know of a server that will allow me to use this mod?

I generally chalk things up to human error first, especially since I have used byethost before and was almost satisfied. Since they are a free host, they occasionally replace your website with advertisements if they are getting too much traffic too fast. It is possible that your AJAX requests are happening so close to your main request that byethost is replacing it with its advertising page.

But that is something that you should take the time to verify before assuming that you can do no wrong.
