1. Closing a Room
Select one of the room which you wish to close and click on the "Close
Room" Button. When a room is closed, no user will be able to enter the
closed room. However, as an administrator of the chat world, you can still
enter a closed room. Closing a room is useful if you want to create a private
discussion forum. Users currently inside the closed room will still be
able to get out if they choose to. But they will not be able to enter the
closed room again.
2. Opening a Room
Select a room which has been closed and click on the "Open Room" Button.
An opened room resumes the normal function of other rooms, i.e. users will
be able to come in and get out of the room of their own accord.
3. Go to a Room
Select one of the room you wish to go and click on the "Go To Room"
Button. You, as an administrator may enter a closed room.
4. Stealth Entry to a Room ( Tip Toe to Room )
Select one of the room you wish to go and click on the "Tip Toe To Room"
Button. You, as an administrator may enter a closed room. When you enter
a room using stealth entry, users will not know of your logging in to the
chat room. The room statistics will not change also. Users will not be
able to see your name appearing in the room which you have entered stealthily
using the client's room junction window. You can still see the discussions
going on in the room or talk to a single person in the room. Note that
if you were to talk to everyone in the room, they will know that you are
in the room, hence exposing your presence.
5. Create a Room
Type the name of the new room or channel in the "New Room Name" textbox.
Click on the "Create Room" button once you have typed the new room's name.
Chat Blazer will check and prevent duplication of room names. You can now
have room names which have spaces inside them, e.g. "The Lobby".
6. Destroy a Room
Choose a room which you wish to destroy. You can only destroy a room
which has no users in it. You need to purge a room if there are any users
in it. You cannot destroy the first/only room in the chat world.
7. Purge a Room
You can get rid of every one in the chat room with this function. Select
a room with users still in it and click on the "Purge Room" Button. You
cannot purge a room with no users in it. This is an expensive procedure
and requires a lot of network and server load. Try to send a message to
the room telling the users to get out first before purging the room. As
an administrator, you cannot be purged from the room.
8. Rename a Room
Select a room which you wish to rename. Type in the new room name in
the "New Room Name" textbox. When you have entered the new room name, click
on the "Rename Room" Button.
9. Manage Password Settings for a Room
Select a room which you want to set the password settings. Inside the
Password Manager, you can add/edit/remove users' login names and passwords.
You can add a Room Password which everyone can use when they login to that
particular room. You have a choice of activating either of or both the
User Password-Protection and Room Password-Protection. The former requires
users to have a login name/password record in the room, which will have
to be added by you. The latter allows users to login to the room with any
nickname but requires a room password.
10. Send a Message to a Room
Select the room which you wish to send the message to. Then type in
your message and click on the ".. to Selected Room" Button. You will notice
that in the Message Texbox, the string " <<< ADMIN >> :" is already
included. You can customise this if you want to. What you type will appear
literally on the recipients' screen, i.e. "<<<
ADMIN >>> : Room closing in 5 minutes", or
"< HOMEOWNER > : WELCOME".
11. Send a Message to all Rooms
Type in your message and click on the ".. to All Rooms" button. Every
room/channel will be able to receive your message.
