How do I change my username?
Usernames cannot be changed after they are created. If you wish to change it you will have to delete your current account and create a new one with the new username. If you have any problems please contact: Accounts
How do I send a private message?
There are two ways to send a private message in FlashChat. You can either find
the user's name in the room manager and click on the name, or you can type "/username:"
in the chat input box, followed by your message. The recipient will be alerted
of the private message, regardless of the room that they are in. If you send
a private message by clicking on a user's name in the room list, then a small
private message window will be opened, which you can keep open indefinitely.
This is useful is you want to send multiple private messages to one person,
or if you want to engage in several private chats simultaneously.
How do I use smilies?
You may send a smilie in one of two ways: select the smilie from the list of
available smilies, or type the smilie code into the chat input area. For example,
:red: is the code to display the blushing-face smilie.
How do I logout of the chat?
The best way to logout is to click on the "X" in the upper right corner
of the screen. However, if you simply close your web browser, then you will
also be logged out after a period of time. Thus,
users who close their web browsers to logout will still be visible to logged-in
users for a short period of time. However, clicking on "X" immediately
logs you out of the system.
