Chatrooms

Londoncommons Chat     Part of the new londoncommons.net, are the presences of chatrooms.  There are currently two of them.  

1. General Chat
2. Support

 The General chat, is for just average any-day  chatting, nothing  specific, but friendly interactions with  other users.   The support chat, is for quick help with using the site.       There are a couple commands inside the chatroom that may come in handy.  These are entered into the main submission line below the chat box.     /me     /msg Both of these can do some neat things.  Here's an example of how each one would be used:  

1. "/me likes going to the store to buy computer parts." would display in the chat window as if your name was john doe: "john doe likes going to the store to buy computer parts".
2. "/msg john doe hey hows it going, I have a secret", would send a private message to the user john doe.  only john doe (or the person you are sending a message to) will see the message.

Alternately, you may click on a users name from the list of users in the chatroom at the time, and the /msg command will be filled out with the users name automatically, and the rest of the message can be entered.   A user can also set their status in the chat to "away", so that others know they may not respond right away.   Users can also be kicked out of a chatroom, or banned if their behaviour is horribly uncivil.. so best behave while in it :)
