| What is my Shoutbox? Can anyone read it? How do I clear it ? |
View Answer |
| Your Shoutbox? is your private chat area -- only you can read the messages inside your Shoutbox?. With this feature you can instantly chat with anyone on fubar. You can send someone a shout in three ways:
1) Click on the Shoutbox links throughout fubar (i.e. on a member profile in the upper left hand side, on a bulletin, etc.) or
2) Click on the member's name when it appears in your Shoutbox?.
3) Use the "IM:" field inside the window that pops up when you preview a profile.
When you click on the shout link to chat with another member, a box with their profile stats will pop up. You can start typing as soon as it opens, or you might need to move your cursor inside the text entry field before typing, then hit ENTER to send.
When talking to multiple members at once, you can click on their name, and when the box opens up to chat, click the "open shoutbox" link and it will open a separate shoutbox between you and that member.
To clear your Shoutbox click on the white icon (person throwing trash away) inside your Shoutbox? window. This will clear all of your Shoutbox? window contents.
If your Shoutbox stops working, it is likely that you have been given a 'timeout' for spamming. This is avoided by not sending the same message to numerous users. |
