Rooms and tabs

Keep several rooms open, move between them and leave them.

The Web Chat keeps up to 10 rooms open at the same time. The room list on the left has one entry for each.

The icon next to each room

Icon colourMeaning
GreyNothing new.
GreenNew messages you have not read.
RedSomeone mentioned your nickname.

The name also turns bold while there is something unread. There are no counters.

Switching

Click a room in the list. On a phone, open the room list with the button at the top and tap a room.

Leaving a room

Use the small x next to its name, or type /part. You leave and the entry closes. If it was your last room, the tab stays and shows "You left #room" with a Rejoin button, so you can see you left. A second click on the x takes you to Status.

Rooms you were in

Come back to the same address later and the Web Chat reconnects you. It remembers your rooms in your browser for a short while.

Limits

If you try to join more than ten rooms, leave one first. A room name can be up to 59 characters.
