Our Chat Room is easy to use but please read about the basic features.

• LOG IN: First time you will be logged in automatically with some name like 'SnoogleBunny' or something like that.  
• YOUR NAME: The rule is you HAVE TO change your name to your real name or to suitably identify yourself.  Internet may be all about anonymity but I am afraid that is not ok here.  Just click on your name in the list of names on the right and change it to your real name.  The Chat Room will remember you next time you log from your computer.  People who don't identify themselves stand risk of being banned.
• LIST OF USERS: It shows who all are logged on.  If their pawn is green the person is online. Red if Offline.  Click on name for options.  For me (Mansoor - Administrator) the pawn is golden when I am online and red when offline.
• SOUNDS & ALERTS: The Chat Room has sound alert each time you send or receive a message.
• AUDIES: Sounds that you can send mainly to draw attention to start a chat.  You can send these sounds by copying the code into the message space and hitting 'ENTER'.  List of Audie codes is in the panel below.
• SMILIES: Click to select a smilie from the row above message area. Hit ENTER to send.
• CHAT LOG: The Chat Room retains the last 15 or so lines of the chat.  BUT if you want privacy then you can start a private chat that starts in a seperate tab and is deleted on exit.
• PRIVATE CHAT: To start a private chat click on name of person in list on the right and select 'Private Chat'.  This opens another tab in the chat window with the persons name on it. You can alway go back to the main chat by clicking on its tab.
• PRIVATE MESSAGE: You can also send just a private message to any of the participants. Click on name of person and select Private Message.
• HELP: For complete HELP go to The Chat Room Users Guide.

AUDIES   (sounds to draw attention for a chat.  In order of increasing urgency  )
