CHAT HELP
We offer a unique graphical chat environment where you can create your own image (cyber person if you will) and have your own flat and meet up with your friends in Cyberspace. It is like going out without the hassle! In computer terminology we refer to your cyber person as an "Avatar". The word "Avatar" comes from Hinduism, the manifestation of a God in human or superhuman form - somehow the term has now crept into computer speak!
Yes, you can. Just click on "Chat as Male" or "Chat as female".
The answer to this is NO - in no circumstances should you give your details to someone you don't know! The problem is that on the Internet and in Towerchat people can pretend to be someone they are not and this can in certain cases be very very dangerous. So do not give your details to anybody unless your are absolutely certain that they are who they say they are. If you eventually do give someone your details, make sure you let other people know what you have done and to whom you have given your details. If you have agreed to meet up with someone in the real world outside cyber space, make sure that you never go alone and that you meet in a public place. Please read more about chat safety on www.chatdanger.com and www.thinkuknow.com.
Just enter your username and your password to the right on the opening page and hit "sign in".
Now you are on one of the floors in our Tower. You should see at least one avatar -Your own!
Each avatar has a name written under it (unless you disabled this option). If you entered the chat as a guest you will see the word "Guest" under one of the avatars. The easiest way to determine where your avatar is, is to "say" (type) something. Just start typing on your keyboard and what you type will come up as a speech bubble.
Just start typing and you will see a speech bubble growing near your avatar as you type.
Note: no one else will see what you are saying until you hit "Enter".
Click anywhere in the chat room and try again.
Click on the space free of avatars and pieces of furniture and you will 'jump' there.
The default option is normal talk "say". To "scream" or to "think" something, click on your own avatar, select Speech and then the desired option. Now try typing something, and you will see that the form of the bubble has changed.
Yes, until you hit "Enter", you can cancel your message. Just press the "Esc" key on your keyboard or use the backspace button.
Oh, yes it can! Click on your avatar and select "Emotions". You will see five different emotions to choose from. Choose one of them and you will see the corresponding changes in the facial expression of your avatar.
All Towerchat Members have their own penthouse flat at the top of the Tower. What's more, those rooms can be decorated and designed the way you want it by using our design templates.
Yes, click on your avatar and choose "Go to my" from the menu. You will see a list of your own rooms. Select one of them to enter there.
Yes, click on the avatar you want to send a message to. Select the "Whisper" option. Try typing something; your bubble should be red which indicates that you are composing a private message. If you want to talk at length to someone in confidence then we suggest you use your room or flat by inviting the other avartar inside your own room.
Click on the offending avatar and select Status and "Snubbed" You won't see any text from this avatar until you uncheck "Snubbed" in the menu. The offending avatar will get a message on the screen informing them that it has been "Snubbed".
Click on the avatar in question and select "Bio". The information about this avatar will appear in a small window.
Yes, you can. Click on the avatar you want to invite and select "Invite to my". You will see a list of your own rooms. Click on one of them to invite the selected person there. The invitee can either accept or decline your invitation. You will be notified about the invitee's decision by a message. To meet your guests click on your own avatar and select "Go to my" from the menu; then select the room where you have invited your guests to meet up with you.
Yes, you can add this person to your buddy list. Click on the avatar you want to add and select "Add to Buddies". Now you can see this person in your Buddy List on your TowerChat homepage.
This is our News Ticker or Public Address System (Tannoy) There you will find the latest site news and messages from our users.
Sometimes when a lot of people chat in the same room it can be difficult to follow the conversation - in such case you can click on "log file" to go back and see the part of the conversation you missed.
Click anywhere in the room outside text fields and your private message will be cancelled.
Yes there is. You can invite one or more avatars into your private room or flat and nobody will bother you there.
After clicking on it you will see another menu where you will be able to choose whether you want the names of the avatars to be displayed in the Chat.
As in any other building, we in TowerChat use a lift to move up and down the floors. We encourage you to explore all the rooms in TowerChat, so don't hesitate to use it.
Our lift is used like any other lift. As you can see, there are ten buttons, which represent the floors of our Tower (Bar, Rave Dance, Casino, et al.). You can visit any of the floors by clicking on the corresponding button.
Those numbers show how many users there are in the room. When you click on any room button, you will see the names of the visitors in this room.
Try it! - the lift will just stop and you will be able to choose between the floors again.
This usually happens if the maximum number of visitors in this room is reached. If this is the case, you won't see the number of visitors next to the room title, instead you will see the word "Full". Don't worry, you can always go to our Pub's, since they do not have any restrictions on the number of visitors.
