Emoticons are the expressions we use in a chat or conversation in a private chat or conferencing room. When you are in the instant messaging area there are two ways to express your emoticons, one is by text or the other is by a drop down screen screen appears showing the expressions to use (growing on every update of myJabber), in your message sending screen it will not show the picture only show letters and other expressions i.e. :-) = when you send your message to another chat person it will appear as a Happy Face or what every emoticon you may choose to use.

 

 

:) or :-) =   Smiling or Happy Face

:> or:-> =   Devious or devil

:( or:-(   =  Sad

:<         = Crying or Very Sad

 

 

Just put the  mouse pointer on the Emoticon in question and click it, and it will show you the text portion of the emoticon. Press enter or the send button and your emoticon will show up to the person you are chatting with.

Chat Etiquette

This section is for your security please read carefully. In this section also we explain the importance of using good clean chat and fun.

Capitals :    Typing in capitals is considered the same thing as yelling. When you type a sentence completely in capitals in a chat room, it is assumed that you are making a point or yelling that sentence. Most chat rooms frown on constant use of capitals so remember to turn off the CAPS lock key when chatting.

Language :   Most chat rooms do not permit the use of vile language within it. If you insist on using vile language in a chat room you stand to the risk of being expelled from that particular chat room. So please remember chat rooms are, family rooms (for both young and old) so please keep it clean. Thanks.

Behavior  :   Insults or other hurting statements are extremely frowned upon in most chat rooms some chat rooms will ban you from their facilities if you insist upon making insults. so please use respect and keep it clean for others to use. Enjoy the chatting.

Tips and Tricks

In this little section we show you how important it is for you the user to keep your username and password very secure and personal. Please read carefully.

Username :      When choosing your user name please be careful not to use your real name or it is not best to do so for security reasons. Be creative and think up a name that is very unique. Also we advise to keep it to one word or two words with no spaces, this is if you want to use this name in other chat rooms. Some  of the other chat programs only recognize  one word or two words with no space between them,  you can use in most cases letters and numbers or just numbers or just letters please don't use your telephone or fax number for numbered usernames please keep it private. This is only for your security, and your use only.

 

Password :   Password is for your use and no one else to use. It is a security password and only for your personal use it is for you to login to the instant messaging system and not for others to use this is private, please do not use your name DOB or any other information that a person would be able to figure out if you want to keep your program and conversations private. This is only for your security, and your use only.
