Did you know that you can chat here? Pretty awesome, huh? The steps on how to do it are below. You know, we should all get together and figure out a time where all of us are on this site and chat and stuff. Anyway, here's the steps:
1. On the tabs in the middle of the screen, click on "Chat." You'll automatically be in the "Lobby" chat room.
2. Off to the right column, you can see who is online.
3. To the bottom left, you can type in your message.
4. To the bottom right, you can see the other chat rooms. I don't know what they're for except for the "Friends" room. M = male, F = female; and it says how many of them are in the room. If you want to "enter" into that room, just double click on any one of them.
5. If you're bouncing around between rooms (and if you get to THAT point, it's a good thing. That means people are pretty active on this site.), just go to the top of the chat window and you'll see the various tabs of the rooms you're in.
The only catch, is that you can only see the people who entered the chat room, not necessarily the people online.
And if that's the case, then you can do the following:
1. On the tabs in the middle of the screen, click on "Members."
2. In the filters, make sure the "online only" is clicked.
3. For best results, don't choose just male or just female with a specific age. Just see who's there to begin with. Click the "Show" button.
4. Double click on the results to see their profile.
5. Click on the "Chat Now" link under the "Actions" window. A pop-up window will open.
6. Type your message in the bottom left corner of the pop-up window and wait for the other person to respond. If the person is no longer online, an automatic response will say, "So-and-so isn't in chat not, but your message will be delivered as soon as So-and-so is online." But if they are online, you will hear a little beeping sound when they respond.
7. I'm guessing, you can also upload music and video, with the links off to the right column that says "Music" and "Video."
Another way to chat, is the following:
1. At the top right corner of the screen, click on "My Presence." A pop-up window will open. (The pop-up window is a bit buggy, so I suggest going to the Members tab to double check who is really online.)
2. Click on the Online tab to see who's online.
3. Double click on the Dialog Bubbles icon to chat with the person you want to chat with. A pop-up window will open. (Now careful, it's still a bit buggy, so check the left column of this pop-up window to make sure you are about to chat with the right person. If you find you're not on the right one, do the following - it's a workaround: Click on someone else's Dialog Bubbles icon and see the left column to check if it's the profile you wanted.
Note:
A special thanks to Cecilia for asking how to chat in the first place, and to HockeyPlayer for being online at the time and gracious enough to be my guinea pig to figure out how this chat feature works.
