This is a quick guide to using the new IM and Chat beta launch.
Rooms Tab:
The global-chat is open to all registered fans.
There is another room that is reserved for users of a certain level, and you'll also see that in the Rooms tab. In the past, we've had a few Rawak people come in and hit on the people in the chat rooms, so the reserved room should be relatively free of such riff-raff.
Contact Tab:
Setting custom status messages: click on the pencil, and type away!
Turning off chat: Click on the bubble seterusnya to "I am online" and click on the red "Log out" option on the menu.
Contacts are your mutual peminat-peminat that are currently online *and* signed into chat. anda need to be mutual peminat-peminat to see each other on chat.
Notifications:
Your browser may ask anda to allow Fanpop to send anda notifications. This will pop up a small window in the corner of your screen if someone sends anda a message and lets anda see messages without having your Fanpop browser tabs in the foreground.
Future features:
We're looking into a feature that lets anda create a smaller peminat senarai specifically for chat in case anda get too many messages when logged in.
Some peminat-peminat have requested an invisible mode, so we are considering that, as well.
Private multi-fan chat rooms are being considered.
Mute (no audio) and auto-away are also on the list.
Thanks for trying it out!
