Chat Online in our Free Chat Rooms

How To Chat / Chat Features / Chat Problems

Where is the chat room?

Each bingo game room contains its own free chat room located on the right hand side of the bingo game screen for the bingo players within that room to chat online among themselves.  Once you enter the bingo game, you should see messages moving up on the right hand side of the screen.

How do I type in a message in the chat room?

To chat, just type in a message in the bottom command line and then hit the "enter" or "return" button on your keyboard.  (The command line is the long empty line at the bottom of the chat room screen with the stop light to the right of it.)

How do I look to see what room my friend is in?

This feature will allow you to see if the member you are looking for is in a different bingo room.  It will tell you what room they were last spotted in, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are still there playing.  For example, type: {FIND} JohnBoy1 the word FIND must be capitalized and encased in the { } symbols, not the ( ) symbols.  And, of course, put the username of the member you are looking for in place of JohnBoy1.

How do I ignore a bingo player in the chat room?

Our online chat engine comes with an Ignore feature where you can block certain user's chat.  To do this, just type IGNORE Johnboy1 into chat and you will not see anymore of their chat.  The word Ignore must be in capitol letters and you must of course type the exact username of the player you wish to ignore in place of JohnBoy1.  You will see receive an acknowledgement of this in your chat window - this will only be seen in your chat window, no other players will see this nor will they see that you have ignored someone.  After you ignore a bingo player, if you decide you want to start seeing this player's chat again, use UNIGNORE Johnboy1 instead.

How do I chat privately with one of my friends?

We do allow you to to send private messages to one of your friends and it is similar to AOL or ICQ instant messaging.  You simply put the username of the person you want to direct your comments to in asterisks.  For example typing: *JohnBoy1* How are you? Will send the message: How are you? to JohnBoy1 in private, and only yourself and JohnBoy1 will see the message in the chat window.

How do I scroll through or pause the chat window?

Click on the little stop light next to the chat-entry bar.  This will cause a scrollbar to appear.  When the stoplight is red, the chat window is paused and you can scroll back and read previous lines of chat.  Remember to click the stoplight again to un-pause your chat.  If you forget, chat will automatically un-pause itself once the buffer is full.

Why can't anyone see me when I am chatting?

It can be one of several problems: either you have had your chat privileges removed by one of our chat moderators, your chat was filtered due to the content, or you could have a username that includes a word that will not pass through our chat filters.
