Chatting online is one of
the Internet's most popular features.
When you enter a chat room, you can do the
following things:
1)
Watch the Conversation
The large area in the middle is
where the conversation takes place. When you first enter a room, you'll see a
message from Online Host telling you which room you are in. A moment later, the
conversation will start to scroll by. Every line shows a member's screen name
and what that member said.
2)
Join the Conversation and type in real time
Underneath the conversation, at
the bottom of the screen, is a box you can type in. To contribute a comment,
simply type what you want to say into that box and click the Send button. As
soon as you click Send, your text will appear in the conversation above, with
your screen name in front of it. Everyone in the room will be able to see what
you've typed.
3)
See Who Else is in the Room
On the right side of the screen
is a list of who is in the room. As people enter and leave, their screen names
will appear and disappear from this list. To send a private message, find out
more about a person, or ignore messages from a person, double-click on their
name on the list.
Three easy steps will have you ready to chat like a pro:
4)
Create a Chat Screen Name
We encourage you to create a
screen name just for chat -- one that tells about an interest or your
personality. In addition to giving you a chance to build an online identity, a
chat screen name can shield your privacy. Many people prefer to use their
primary screen name only to communicate with people they already know, and
their chat screen name when they are in rooms with new people. If you prefer to
use your primary screen name to chat, you can do that, too.

6)
Set Your Preferences
You decide who can send you
email and who can't. To keep your mailbox clear of junk mail and other
unsolicited messages, make sure you have your chat screen name set to block
email from strangers. Click on this link to set your mail controls.
Parents often prefer that their
children not be able to enter chat rooms. This is a good time to make sure you
have the appropriate parental controls set for children's accounts. Click on
this link to set your parental controls.
You can set other, more advanced
chat preferences, such as whether to play sounds while you're in a chat room.
To set these preferences, click on the "Chat Preferences" link in any
chat room.
