Formerly you'd see both your username and display name when you logged into chat. Starting today, you will see your username ONLY. In other words, when Celeste logged into chat in former days, she saw "Celeste (celestial8888)". Now when she logs into chat, she'll see only "celestial8888". For those of us (like Celeste) whose display name is different than our username, we will need to use the nickname command to display our name in the chatroom. Type /n "newname" with your name in the quotes in the composition area, then hit enter. It will announce to the room the new name, then your name on the display will change. This command is the same as we had in our old set-up. In other chatroom news, our interface between ProBoards and Addon Chat has changed. As a result, we communicate direcly with Addon Chat. We are hoping some of connection problems will stop now that we have fewer company servers involved. Copy-and-paste is back for everyone, so you can share info you find elsewhere. Those who have pictures elsewhere online that they want to share can do so by enclosing the image URL with the opening and closing tags ![]() [/img]. We ask that you limit the use of this feature so that those with slower connection speeds can use the chat room easily. Once we know that the changes are going smoothly for everyone, we will start collecting funds ($35) to add the mobile/tablet module to the chat room. This module means those using iPads, iPhones and tablets can access chat easily. |
