How to log into a Chat Room

To start chatting, input a user name of your choice, and click Connect. Your user name must be unique from other user names that are logged into the chat room. If you are required to enter a password, a pop-up window will appear where you can enter your room or user password. Some rooms may require registration.

How do I register a user name

If you would like to register a user name and password, please use the link provided on the site you are visiting to do so. Some rooms do not require registration. Please contact the webmaster of the web site that you visit for more information on their own requirements.

Get user information

(profile information)

You can view some information about any user in a room. To see this information, right-click on the user's name from within the User List, and select "See Profile". Any information available will be displayed in the main chat window.

To send a message

Chat messages posted by all users are displayed in the main chat window. To add to the conversation, type a message into the text input box located below the main chat window, and click on the Send button (or hit the Enter key on your keyboard).

Send a private chat message to a user

You can send a private chat message to any user in a room. To send a private message to a visitor, right-click on the visitor's name from within the User List, and select Private Chat.  You will see a new window display through which you may chat with that user privately, one-to-one.

Ignore a user

You can ignore any visitor in a room so that their chat text does not display in your own chat window, or to block their private chat requests. To ignore a user, right-click a user's name from within the User List, and select Ignore. Any ignored user will appear to be "grayed out" in the User List. To unignore a user, right-click a user's name from within the User List, and select Unignore.  You may ignore as many people as you wish.

You may choose to ignore all private message requests from under the Options menu. Or, when a private chat request is initiated, you may click on the Ignore checkbox under the Action menu to block other private message requests from that user.
