You can then start typing your message in the area provided at the bottom of the screen. Each user entering the chat room will be identified by a name, thereafter referred to as nickname. Nicknames can not be shared. Therefore, all nicknames are unique for each session. The nickname is entered in the left hand box in the Chat Lobby page.
Users can select an image to go along with their nickname.
If an image is selected, it will appear to the left of the nickname and the message in the Chat Main page. If no image is selected, then there will be no image next to the nickname. When you are in the Chat Lobby, you can select one of the five chat rooms by clicking on one of the rooms in the drop box list on the right side of the page. A message goes out notifying all the participants that a new person has entered the chat room. Nickname, IP address and time of the entry of the new visitor is also included in the notification message.
