<h1>Private Messaging</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The CyanChat server supports the sending of <b>private messages</b> to other
|
||
|
|
participants of the chat room. There are three different ways to send private
|
||
|
|
messages:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>The CyanChat Way</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "CyanChat Way" is the method used in the standard CyanChat client. To send
|
||
|
|
a private message to somebody:<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Select the recipient's name from the Who List<br>
|
||
|
|
2. Type in a message to send to them.<br>
|
||
|
|
3. Press the "Send Private" button located beneath the Who List.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>The IRC Way</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "IRC Way" is the method that is used on IRC chat servers (CC is not based on
|
||
|
|
IRC, but IRC users might be more familiar with this method).<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Type in "/msg <recipeint> <message>" into the message space.<br>
|
||
|
|
Example: /msg Cuvou hello there!<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The aliases <b>/whisper</b> and <b>/w</b> may also be used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>The IM Way</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The final method, the "IM Way", is the method that is characteristic of Instant
|
||
|
|
Messaging programs. Simply double-click a user's name from the Who List and open
|
||
|
|
an Instant Message window with them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h1>Message Windows</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unless you disable it, the sending or receiving of private messages will always
|
||
|
|
open a message window with that user. All later private messages received from
|
||
|
|
the same user will go to this same window.<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have disabled this, then the only way to open a message window is if you
|
||
|
|
open it yourself, by double-clicking a user's name. See
|
||
|
|
<a href="misc.html">Miscellaneous Configuration Options</a>.
