    Help me please!

    Could anybody tell me how to change the colour of font while in the Chatroom, and how to say something without your name appearing? As several members are being very stubborn :mad:.

    what do you mean "how to say something without your name appearing"? Do you want to abuse someone without them knowing it was you??

    mmm...Wonder who these members might be?;)

    Does the chat room involve members typing messages or is it a video link up like skype?

    You type. Would be a bit unfair to those without skype.

    And it would also be quite awkward for those quiet moments where it's awkward enough already!

    I don't know how to explain it really, if you know, you will know what I mean. This is something where you write something and your name doesn't appear at the side, but in your post, and it appears in red.

    It would also be unfair to those who don't possess the beauty for Skype (or don't want to be seen in their pyjamas)!

    We were just letting you discover it for yourself. Everyone knows you learn best if you have to work to find it out, what good would just telling you do?

    Besides, they wouldn't tell me for ages when I first started visited the chatroom :p

    (He's talking about how you do the messages showing an action so your name appears at the start in green followed by a message in red)

    wait wait wait - I was just writing my messages on the computer screen in red felt pen. Is that not how it's done? Were you guys not even able to see what I was writing?? No wonder I always felt so ignored!

    To be accurate you know how to change the colour of your words ;) but you still don't know how to use the action command.

    I'd people want to ridicule us, or find out what we are going on about, join the chatroom! It isn't scary (usually), and only some of us bite ;) but occasionally kick. Please, oh please join us procrastinating souls.
