Private Message

To start a private conversation with another person, private conversations are not recorded.

When you are invited to a private conversation a new line will appear on the main with with a lemon yallow background, and (single click on this message to reply) added to the top of the message and the sound of a harp. To commence the private message single click on this message and a new private message window will open.

Flag user

Messages from this user come up in red by default, with a Chime to alert you to this new flagged message.

View profile

To view the other persons status information, only if they have allowed others to see it.

Ignore Button

How can I handle abusive chatters? You can use the following features:

Use the ignore command whenever someone is harassing you or saying something you'd rather not see.

You can add someone to your Ignore List. Click on their name once in the Chatters box and clicking "Ignore." Or, click on their name in the chat screen, check the "Ignore" box, and click "OK."

If private message (PM) boxes are becoming a nuisance, click the "Settings" button "Options" page, uncheck the box "Enable auto-popup of Private Messages" Now, when other chatters try to send you a private message, it will appear in the regular chat window with (single click on this message to reply) in the message. If you want to respond to the message, click on the message line. Wait for a second and a private message window will load.

Leave Chat

Dont feel obliged to hang around if you become uncomfortable, just log out and come back another time.
