Live Chat

[Gloria Admin]

A new section in the gold menu bar above has been added called Live Chat. Where it says login, just put your usename, no password is presently necessary. This is a stripped down version for testing. If you like it, I will spring for the fancier version. More than one person must be logged in to chat, the list of people available is on the right.

WARNING: LIVE CHAT MAY BE ADDICTIVE!

Some Live Chat Notes:
Here are a couple of notes for chat users:
First, you can leave yourself logged in for long periods of time so you can see who pops in.
Second, if you click on the word Online, above the list of names, you can change your status back and forth between Online and Away.
Messages, of course, Are typed in the small box below the row of icons.. If the speaker is annoyong, click the little speaker icon. It will put an X on it and the sound will be turned off.
If the window is too small for you, click on the double window icon and drag it to any size you want.
You can make the text larger by clicking on the Gear icon, choose Font Size and select a larger number.
Or, click the magnifying glass with the green plus sign.

I tried it and seem to have several problems.
1. When I type in a message, it disappears if I leave.
2. I left a window open but got a timeout message and was logged off.
3. Is anyone else on? I can't tell because I always get a blank screen when logging on.

Just went on, saw your name but didn't know what to do.

Hey guys! This free version we presently have, you do get logged out fairly fast. With the upgraded version, you can stay logged in for days. If people like and start using chat, I will get the upgraded version, but I am not putting out the bucks unless this is something people will use. Whenever you log in, you start with a fresh screen, nothing posted before the current login will be visible. This is a live chat system and does not retain information. When the posts scroll off the screen, they are gone.

To type a post, put your cursor in the blank area directly under the row of icons near the bottom of the screen and type you message. Post it by either clicking the Send button to the rigth of the type window or by hitting enter.
