Wow, the forums are off to a really great start! Thanks so much everybody for being active participants, Eon is really coming along now!
So, the biggest and newest feature added to the forums is the chatroom system. For those of you who don't know, the chatroom button is located at the top of your screen next to the logout button. It's a simple, easy to use, and very convenient. Here I'll briefly explain some useful tips and features.
Logging in: You don't have to use your forum username; you can type in whatever you want your display name to be, as long as people can recognize it's you of course. :D
Sounds: Very useful for getting people's attention or getting a point across. Click the music note for the grand list of 3 sounds! ^^' The meow is mostly reserved by Thad and beware, its power of cuteness is strong.
Also, by typing in someone's display name, that person will be paged by making a little beep sound on their computer. Also whenever their name is typed it will turn red, but only they can see this.
More Room: If the window's too small or something, you can always click the 'undock' button so it becomes a separate window. You can also adjust the size of the text to better suit you.
Other things: You can talk to individual people too. Just double click on their username on the list and it opens a separate window so you can private chat. You can block users as well by right clicking. You can put smiles and any urls/email addresses will turn into links. One last thing is the function that you can set yourself to be away or online. Helpful for people who keep trying to talk to you when you're not even there.
That's pretty much it. It's always helpful to look at the bottom of the homepage to see who's on the forums, they'll most likely be on the chat too. Have fun!
