F.A.Q.
Q: What do I need to join the chat?
To start chatting, you need Java installed for your browser to load our
chat applet.
Firefox users:
- Go to the login page, fill in a nickname
and click enter
- A button "Install Missing Plugins" at the top will appear.
Click it and it will take you to the Java installation.
Internet Explorer users:
Download Java
Virtual Machine. This is a small, compact version of Java that will
only work on IE.
Q: I can't / don't want to install Java on my pc. Can I connect via
some other way?
A: Yes! If you can't use either of the above mentioned methods or if you
just don't want to install Java on your computer, we have an alternative
for you. Go to http://www.tombraiderchat.com/?java=no
to enter our chatroom via Mibbit. Mibbit does not have all the functionalities
as the Java applet, but it'll still do the trick :-)
Q: I'm using the Mibbit chat and the bottom line is cut-off, how can
I fix this?
A: If you are using Internet Explorer 6, the bottom of the mibbit chat
does not display correctly. You can solve this by clicking on "PasteBin"
at the bottom and then click on "Close". Consider upgrading
to Internet Explorer 7 (download)
or 8 (download).
Q: Are there any chat rules I should be aware of?
A: We do have a few rules, but our chat is pretty much free and you can
say what you want, just as long as you keep things friendly. We have a
censor in place that filters out offensive words (you can still see what
you typed yourself, but others will not). The chat is moderated, so visitors
who are being annoying risk being kicked off the chat. If someone is consistantly
annoying they can get banned. Visitors that flood the channel (quickly
posting many messages within a few seconds) risk being de-voiced (this
means you won't be able to enter text) for 5 minutes by one of our chatbots.
| Q: What are the chat commands? A: Below is a list of frequently used chat commands. /me <text> - display an action/nick <nickname> - change your nickname/msg nickserv register <password> <email> - register your
nickname/msg nickserv identify <password> - identify yourself on the
serverNote: text between < > is something you write yourself. For example, to change your nickname to "coolguy23", you type this: /nick coolguy23
