The
new IM feature allows you to participate in a live, real-time
network-wide chatroom as well as private chats with other members
of the network. You can find the new IM feature at the bottom of
your screen, in the new IM bar.
Clicking this button will pop the IM out of the IM
bar and allow you to start chatting. The IM bar is on every page
and so you don't have to worry about it closing, if you navigate
away from any page.
If
you don't want to appear online, you don't have to! Click the
little man on the right of the IM bar to appear offline. Green
means that you are online.
Red
means that you are signed out of IM and are appearing to be
offline.
You
can also pop your IM feature out of your page. In order to do this,
click the Pop Out button inside your IM
feature
When you sign in to a network with the IM feature
on it, you will automatically appear as "online". In the right
column, a list of members currently appears. Clicking on their
profile photo pops up a dialogue that allows you to view their
profile on the network or initiate a private IM with them. When the
member accepts, the two of you will be placed in your own separate
chatroom. You can definitely decline a private IM request! You can
navigate back to the main chatroom at any time by clicking the Main
tab.
If
you are not logged in or yet a member of PhreQuency.Com you can use
our guest chat and chat with other guests.
