Status Setting: |
|
 Your
chat room may allow you to change
your status to Away and back
to Online while you are
logged in. When you need to step
away from your computer for a short
period, or if you are consumed with
an instant-message session, you may
wish to change your status to Away. |

| The
User List: |
|
 The
User List provides a list of all
users logged into the chat system,
including a list of all available
chat rooms. Chat rooms are indicated
by a gold door icon (see image to
the left) and users are indicated by
a pawn icon. Your chat room may be
using slightly different icons to
represent users and rooms.
Blue icons indicate a user with
normal privileges. Green icons
indicate a Guest Speaker or
Celebrity. Yellow icons are reserved
for Moderators. Finally, red icons
are used to denote a user with
administrative privileges. A full
user function menu (right click on a
user in the user-list to see this
menu) for administrators is shown to
the right.
You may double click on a room name
to enter that room. Some rooms may
prompt you for a password before
continuing. Double click on a
username to open up an instant
message (one to one private message)
with that user.
Users with administrative privileges
may perform most required
administrative duties using the user
function menu.
Other functions may also be
indicated in the user list that are
now shown here. For example, your
chat room may be equipped with a
special user profile system, or
webcam system which has been
integrated with the chat room. |
