FAQs

Basic Functions

The red circle button at the top right will log you off and take you back to the entrance screen
The drop down menu at the top is for changing which room you are in.
Add is to create a new public or password protected room if you wish to chat with a group
On the right is the user list.
Above the message box is a small drop down menu which will change your status as Here, Busy, Away or BRB
Options is to change the chat design, turn on or off sound effects, use an avatar, change the font and font size (if you change the chat design, it is recommended that you tick the 'Use my text colour for all received messages" under the Text menu).
The colour picker chooses what colour to write your text in.
The save option opens a new browser window which will show the whole of the chat. You can choose to save this as a HTML file or copy the text and paste it into a word processer.
The ? buton opens the documentation for the chat program. This is not important to casual users.
The smily face button opens the emoticon gallery.
B makes the text you write BOLD
I makes the text you write in italics

Clicking on a username will get a list of options

Private Message To chat privately with the member. This will bring up a new window.

Invite To invite the member to another room and gives you the option of giving them a message, like the password for the room

Ignore To ignore the specific member. You will no longer see or receive any messages from them.

These are a list of commands you can use inside the chat. Kicking and banning is for moderators and admin only.

/away	Sets user as away. Typing this command again sets user as "here".
/here	Sets user as here. This reverses the "away" and "busy" states.
/busy	Sets user as busy. Typing this command again sets user as "here".
/back	Shows the last entries of the room's chat, including any chat text that was present before arrival to the room.
/backtime	Shows the last minutes of the room's chat, including any chat text that was present before arrival to the room.
/clear	Clears the chat screen. This only affects your screen, not the screen of other users.
/join <room>	Switches the user to <room>. For example: "/join The Lounge"
/part	Logout of the chat.
/quit	Logout of the chat.
/logout	Logout of the chat.
/version	Shows which version of the chat you are using.
/invite <user>	Invites "user" to the room that you are currently in.
/ignore <user>	Ignores "user" until /unignore "user" is issued
/?	Display a list of currently available IRC commands.
/helpall	Display a list of all available IRC commands.
/whowas <user>	This only works when FlashChat is used in a registered-users manner (not the "free for all" chat mode). Shows profile page for any registered user.
/whois <user>	Same as /whowas, but the user must be logged in.
/motd	Displays the message of the day, as defined in /appdata/motd.txt
/sos <message>	Alerts moderator in the current room of your message. This is to warn the moderator if you are offended by anyone or if someone is harrassing you.
/names	Shows a list of all user names in all public rooms.
/showignores	Shows who you are ignoring, and who is ignoring you.

/me <action> Issues an IRC-like "action" to the chat. "/me" will be changed to your user name, and the text in <action> will appear as a system message. For example: "/me is thinking" would translate to "Joe is thinking".
