| Using KiteChat |
| |
|
| Q: |
Why is only one chat room used most of the time? |
| A: |
Generally, there are few enough people that it's nice to all talk in one room... However, the messages start flying by very quickly when there are too many people in one room and they can divide into other rooms. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Why do some people have different icons by their name? |
| A: |
Under "Options" on the chat screen, then "Effects", you can change the avatar that appears in the chat area or name list... However, those users with the "A" icon are chat administrators. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Why are some of the messages hard to read? |
| A: |
Under "Options" on the chat screen, you can change your text color, background color and image. |
| |
|
| Q: |
How do I add a photo to my profile? |
