Chat Room Tips

  • To send a message to the room, just type it into the Text Box.  Then hit Enter, or click [Update].
  • To send a Private Message, choose a nickname from the Select Box, then type your message normally.  This message will not appear in the room. Instead, it will only be seen by the chatter that you sent it to.
  • To Receive a Private Message, just click [Update].
    • If your browser is up-to-date, and you have enabled Javascript, you will see a notice in the message window that you have a private message.  Click [Update] to receive your private messages in a small, floating window.  Just type your response into the space provided, and hit Enter.  If you don't want to respond, hit Escape.
    • If you have an older browser, your private message will appear in the top frame.  To respond, select the sender's nickname from the Select Box, type the message normally, and click [Update].


  • If you don't wish to receive private messages, just select "Ignore Private Messages" from the Select Box.  Now you will not view any private messages sent to you.  In this mode, any message that you enter is sent to the room.
  • To Create a Private room, click the "Create Private Room" Link. You will be able to set up your own room, and automatically invite whoever you want join you there, via the private massage system.
