Hello all

This is a rather long tutorial, and I apologize for that. But I think it was all needed. This is a beginner tutorial for people wanting to learn more about the chat network here on deviantART.

In this first part, you will learn about how to get to the chat page, what the different parts of the chat page are for, and how to join the chat network. Then I walk you though the different parts of the chat interface, and talk about how to use the Tab key to quickly type out names of members in the chat room.



I hope this helps you guys out

And be sure to watch part two, where I go into the real fun of how to do things.


****
I realize I tend to mumble sometimes, Sorry about that. I hope you can understand it all, if you can't, leave an annotation at the part you want clarified, and I'll clear it up. And if I've left something out, or got something wrong (God I hope it's all right, it should be) let me know. Thank you.

Hey um how do you put your topic information on the chat? I tried to figure it out and couldn't do it. I could use some help please.

All you have to do is type:/topic Whatever you want to have show up.   Or to have it show up at the top (the title area), replace /topic with /title.

Just type it out like you would normally chat.  Anything you type, if you start with the / character, the chat interprets that as a command, and /topic or /title will put the text at the top of the page.

Thanks, I guess, but next time you do this (if you do), don't spam me with this type of copy/pasted message. You're commenting here to spread word of your journal. You're not saying anything about my artwork.

I might be sounding snobbish here, but I find these copy/pasted messages people do to be very disingenuous.

Btw, just mentioning because I helped a friend out with his youtube account.

You should make a script, and stick to that when making a video, as you said "um" at the end of almosty every sentance, and a script will help you out with loosing verbal trips.

electricjonny In reply to Marksen [2010-07-09 12:45:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, a script would have helped here.

Maybe, but as my spelling was atrocious in that last comment, you shouldn't take anything I have to say

Nope, but I blame that on a bug, so I hope it gets fixed soon

Hahaha, yeah, I noticed that while I was editing. I almost just got rid of the shitbox, because it's such a sour apple when it comes to the chat folks. But I decided to show it as you would see it.
