Community Building with ChatSpace Server Manual

Avatars
Avatars are small icons or graphics that represent you. You can select an
avatar to appear next to your nickname in the room’s member list and next to
every message you type into the room. Avatars can be set or changed by
clicking the Change Avatar button while editing your profile.
Whisper
To send a quick, private message to someone else in the room:
1. Highlight the nickname of the person to whom you wish to send a
message. A red box is displayed around the selected name.
2. Enter a message into the Input Field.
3. Click Send and hold down the mouse button.
4. A drop down menu is displayed with the option to Whisper to Member.
The following is an example of a whispered message:
To Sethra>: (Private) how are you today?
You still see everything being said in the room, but only you and Sethra will
be able to see the private message. The Message Routing control
automatically resets itself to Message to room after the message has been
sent.
