How to Chat

• To post a message in a room, type the message and press the "Send Message" button.
• To send a private message (one that only the intended recipient can read), click their name in the "Who's In The Room" list (this enables the Private Message button). Type the message as usual and then press the "Private Message" button.
• To change rooms, enter a room number (0 to 999) in the Room field (in the bottom right corner)and press the "Move To New Room" button. Alternatively, you can enter special rooms by choosing one of those displayed in the "Themed Rooms" menu.
• Rooms 500-999 can be locked to prevent others from seeing your conversation. Press the "Lock Room" button to do this. A Room Status of "Public" means that the room cannot be locked.
• Only the last 500 messages entered into the entire system are stored at any one time. Whenever you enter a room, a maximum of the last ten messages for the room are displayed. Messages sent while the room is locked are not recorded. Once you leave a locked room, you will not be able to see the messages there again.
• To find out where other users are, press the "Find People In Other Rooms" button. This tells you the location of all users except those in locked rooms
