For members

• Connected: everything works.
• Reconnecting...: the connection was lost, the chat tries again by itself.
• Disconnected — click to reconnect: click to start the connection again.

A room you may not see does not appear. A Log in to join the conversation. message (or Log in or register to join the conversation.) replaces the writing area if you are not logged in, or if you may not write.

1. Click in the Send message... area.
2. Type your text.
3. Press Enter to send (or the Send button). Shift + Enter starts a new line.

Default limits (the administrator can change them): 2,000 characters per message and at least 1 second between two messages. Beyond that, you see Message is too long (maximum N characters) or Please wait before sending another message. An empty message is refused.

If sending fails, Failed to send is shown with the reason.

Type @ followed by the beginning of the name: a list of members opens. Choose with the arrows ↑ ↓ then Enter or Tab (Esc closes the list). The name becomes a clickable mention in the message.

The Attach files button adds files (images included) to the message, with the same size and type limits as the rest of the forum. An SVG file is offered for download and is not displayed in the message.

In the menu of a message (Message actions), choose Reply. A Replying to NAME banner appears above the writing area and the message you reply to is highlighted. Send your text as usual. To cancel: the cross of the banner or Esc (Cancel reply).

If the original message is deleted later, the reply shows Original message deleted.

Depending on your permissions (4.3):

• Edit: Edit. The editor opens with the original text; Enter saves, Esc cancels, Shift + Enter starts a new line. The message then carries the Edited mention.
• Delete: Delete, with a confirmation. Deleted messages disappear for everyone (Message deleted.).

You can usually edit and delete your messages. Editing or deleting other people's is reserved for moderators. Editing is limited to once every 2 seconds, reacting to once per second.

Add reaction under a message shows the quick reactions. The + button opens a larger menu with search (all the emoji, or the smilies of the forum depending on the setting). Click your reaction again to remove it. The count of each reaction is shown under the message.

A moderator can ban you from a room, for a time or for good. You no longer see the room and cannot write in it (You are banned from this room.). The ban ends when it runs out or when a moderator lifts it.

A guest can read a room only if the administrator gave them the permission; they can never write. They then see the login message in place of the writing area. They do not appear in the list of online members.
