Smilies är uttryckssymboler som kan läggas till meddelanden. Du kan lägga till smilies genom att antingen klicka på en av de standard smilierna ovanför meddelandefältet, eller genom att direkt skriva koden för smiley. Till exempel är :-) koden för standardgult smiley. Det finns många extra smilies som inte ingår i standarduppsätt, som finns på [[Special:MyLanguage/Free smilies|fri smilies]] sida.

Anytime you are on a chat page, and you want to display the full list of smilies (besides the subscriber smilies), look to the left of the chat box, and above the red x is a tiny icon with four little smilies on it. Clicking that icon will bring up the smiley list. Simply click on a smiley and the code for that smiley will appear in your text box. If you want to see the code, so you can manually type it yourself, just hover over the smiley you want the code for.
<div class="mw-translate-fuzzy">
När som helst du är på en chatt sida, och du vill visa hela listan med smilies (Förutom abonnenten smilies), se till vänster om chattrutan, och ovanför den röda x är en liten ikon med fyra små smilies på den. Klickar på den här ikonen kommer du upp smileyslistan. Klicka bara på en smiley och koden för den smiley kommer att visas i din textruta. Om du vill se koden, kan du manuellt skriva in den själv, bara sväva över den smiley du vill ha koden för.
</div>


There are also several shorthand smiley codes. Here is a list:
Det finns också flera shorthand smiley koder. Här är en lista:

=== Receiving/Sending a Private Message ===
=== Mottaga/Skicka ett Privat Meddelande ===


A private message appears in the chat window but has only been sent to one person. It is like being in a room full of people and whispering something to someone that you only want them to hear. If you see a message that has a gold padlock next to it, that person has sent you a private message that only you two can see.
Ett privat meddelande visas i chattfönstret men har bara skickats till en person. Det är som att vara i ett rum fullt av människor och viska något till någon som du bara vill att de ska höra. Om du ser ett meddelande som har ett guld hänglås bredvid det, har den personen skickat dig ett privat meddelande som bara du kan se.
 
<div class="mw-translate-fuzzy">
För att skicka ett privat meddelande till en annan användare, klicka på deras namn i antingen chatten eller besökarlistan. På menyn som dyker upp, klicka på "Privat meddelande" och ett stort hänglås visas på vänster sida av textrutan. Detta indikerar att nästa meddelande du skickar kommer att vara ett privat meddelande till den valda användaren.
</div>
 
[[File:Users-Guide-Private-chat-example.png|thumb|<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Private chat example.</span>]]


To send a private message to another user, click on their name in either the chat or the Visitor list. On the menu that pops up, click on "Private Message" and a large padlock will appear on the left side of the text box. This indicates that the next message you send will be a private message, to the selected user.

=== Starting/Responding to a Private Chat ===
=== Starta/Svara på en Privat Chatt ===


A private chat is a conversation with only two people; it is like leaving a room full of people and finding a private room to talk in. When you are sent a private chat message, a tab will appear with the sender's name on it under the message window. It will flash to indicate a new message and the speech bubble will remain green to show that you have not read it yet. Click on the tab and you will be in a private chat with that person. While you are having a private chat with one person, you may also see the main room and other private chats flashing and remaining green to indicate new or unread messages. You can switch between these and maintain conversations with several people at once if you want to. When you have finished with a private chat, move your cursor over the tab and press the red x that appears to close it.
En privat chatt är en konversation med endast två personer; Det är som att lämna ett rum fullt av människor och hitta ett privat rum att prata i. När du skickat ett privat chattmeddelande visas en flik med avsändarens namn på det under meddelandefönstret. Det blinkar för att ange ett nytt meddelande och talbubblan blir grön för att visa att du inte har läst det ännu. Klicka på fliken och du kommer att vara i en privat chatt med den personen. Medan du har en privat chatt med en person kan du också se huvudrummet och andra privata chattar som blinkar och återstår gröna för att indikera nya eller olästa meddelanden. Du kan växla mellan dessa och hålla samtal med flera personer omedelbart om du vill. När du är klar med en privat chatt, flytta markören över fliken och tryck på den röda x som verkar stänga den.


=== Have you been automatically signed out? ===
=== Har du blivit utloggad automatiskt? ===


If you haven’t typed a message for over 15 minutes, the chat box will automatically sign you out. To sign back in, press the "Sign In" button on the bottom right. Owners and Moderators are not automatically signed out, so they should take more care to sign out when they leave to prevent visitors from wondering why Moderators/Owners are not responding to them.
Om du inte har skrivit ett meddelande i över 15 minuter loggar du chattrutan automatiskt ut. För att logga in, tryck på "Logga in" knappen längst ned till höger. Ägare och moderatorer logga inte ut automatiskt, så de bör vara mer försiktiga att logga ut när de lämnar för att förhindra att besökare undrar varför moderatorer / ägare inte svarar på dem.
<span id="kicked"></span>
=== Har du blivit sparkad? ===


=== Have you been kicked? ===
Om du har sparkats i en chatbox måste du logga in igen om du vill fortsätta chatta. Det kommer att finnas ett informationsmeddelande som skickas till alla i rummet som säger vem sparkades, vem sparkade och orsaken till spark. Du kommer också att bli "Gagged" (kan inte skicka meddelanden) i 15 sekunder efter att ha sparkats.
<span id="banned"></span>
=== Har du blivit bannad? ===


If you have been kicked out of a chatbox, you will need to sign in again if you wish to continue chatting. There will be an information message that is sent to everyone in the room that says who was kicked, who did the kicking, and the reason for the kick. You will also be "Gagged" (unable to send messages) for 15 seconds after being kicked.
Om du har blivit bannad från en chattlåda har du fått ett förbjudet informationsmeddelande, din pantsätta i besökarlistan har blivit brun och ditt namn kommer att ändras till "Banned". Du kan fortfarande se meddelandena skickas (det gäller bara om chatten inte har [[Special:MyLanguage/Banish|Banish]] eller [[Special:MyLanguage/Banpool|Banpool]] tilldelad), men de andra personerna i rummet kommer inte att ta emot vilket meddelande du försöker skicka. Förbudet kan vara i begränsad tid och i så fall kan du återvända senare. Förbudet kan ha varit en varning och de kan förbjuda dig förr om du förblir online en stund.


=== Have you been banned? ===
<div class="mw-translate-fuzzy">
Om du tror att du har blivit orättvist bannad ska du klicka på "Rapportera felaktigt förbjud" i det stora fönstret som visas när det är bannad. Detta kommer att skicka ett meddelande till huvudägaren till chatten som säger att du har blivit bannad, varför du tycker att det är orättvist (om du inkluderade text) och din email (om du inkluderade den). Om förbudet hände när du var online skickar det ett transkript av det som nyligen nämnts på huvudchatten innan du blivit bannad, och ge chattens skapare ett alternativ att döma den person som förbjöd dig.
</div>


If you have been banned from a chat box, you will have received a banned information message, your pawn in the Visitors list will have turned brown, and your name will have changed to "Banned". You will still be able to see the messages being sent (this only applies if the chat doesn't have [[Special:MyLanguage/Banish|Banish]] or [[Special:MyLanguage/Banpool|Banpool]] assigned), but the other people in the room will not receive any message you try to send. The ban may be for a limited duration and if so, you could return later. The ban may have been a warning and they may un-ban you sooner if you remain online for a while.
Om du är bannad kan bara användare som har lagt till dig som en vän se privata chattar du skickar till dem.


If you believe you have been unfairly banned, you should click "Report Unfair Ban" on the large window that appears upon being banned. This will send a message to the main owner of the chat saying that you've been banned, why you think it's unfair (if you included text), and your email (if you included it). If the ban happened while you were online, it will send a transcript of what was recently said on the main chat prior to you being banned, and give the chat's creator an option to demote the person who banned you.

If you are banned, only users who have added you as a friend can see private chats you send to them.

<div class="mw-translate-fuzzy">
För att ändra bildskärmen kan du välja en av de standardbilder som visas genom att klicka på den. Varje gång du väljer en får du ett annat urval som du kan välja.

Alternativt kan du använda vilken bild du vill genom att få "Direktlänk" till en bild (du kan enkelt ladda upp bilder [https://img.xatblog.net/ här]). Efter att du kopierat "Direktlänk", klistra in länken i rutan "Bild" och klicka på OK.

To remove a homepage, simply leave the homepage box blank and click OK.
<div class="mw-translate-fuzzy">
För att lägga till en hemsida eller ange en annan, ange länken till en webbplats, t.ex. https://xat.wiki i startsidan och klicka sedan på OK. Om du har en angiven hemsida, visas en liten hemikon när du skickar ett meddelande bredvid ditt namn. Om någon klickar på det här öppnar de länken på din hemsida. Om du vill ta bort en hemsida, lämnar du helt enkelt hemsidan tom och klickar på OK.

=== How do I reset my ID/user data? ===
If you wish to reset your ID number and screen name (not your registered ID or account name), hover over "account" at the top right and click "logout". After this, refresh the chat page or go to a new chat, and these effects will take place. If you were using a registered account, your session using that account will end.

=== How do I Reset my ID/user data? ===
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
If you wish to reset your ID number and screen name (not your registered ID or account name),
'''Note:''' By doing this, some data will be deleted. Your status, enabled/disabled powers and some other information might be deleted. If you do not want to lose that data, do not reset it.
right-click on any chat screen, then click "Settings". After this, click the little folder icon, then click "Deny" and click close.
</div>
After, refresh on the chat page or go to a new chat page. These effects will take place.  
Doing this will remove your friends list, as well as all your data and status in chat group you have visited.  
So if you do not want to lose all of the data stored (friends list, status etc.) do not reset.
If you reset completely then log back into your registered account and your friends will still be able to contact you on that account,
but you will have lost all stored data doing this process. Do it at your own risk.
When you're done, and you want xat to store the data again, right click on a chat screen, and this time click "Allow".
After you do that, click close and it will start to store the data. Anytime you want to reset the stored data, repeat this method.

=== Why register? ===
Registering allows you to keep your ID, rank (moderator, member, owner etc.), and Friends list on other computers (or after your cookies have been deleted). You can also get a [[xatspace]], which is your own personal xat profile. Registering also makes it almost impossible for other users to impersonate you, and makes it easier for your friends to tell who you are if you’re on other computers. It also allows you to buy xats and subscription time, or receive them through transfers or trades. On a few chats, you might not be able to join unless you’re registered. Your name also appears higher on the list than non-registered users.

Flooding or spamming is typing random numbers and/or letters for no reason, or repeatedly sending a link. This is very disruptive to the chat box and all the users in the chat. People find it very annoying and if you do it you may find you are either banned or Ignored by everyone in the room.
Talking in CAPS, using too many smilies or audies in a way, may also be considered as spam or flooding. Likewise, if you do either of these too much, you may be ignored or even banned from the chat.

Flooding the chat means sending many messages in a short period of time; while spamming could be sending random nonsense messages. Doing either of these may irritate users, and may result in a ban on some chats.

Skickar ett Meddelande

Om du vill skicka ett meddelande skriver du det i rutan för meddelandeinmatning längst ner i chattrutan. Meddelandet skickas till andra personer i chattrummet när du trycker på retur/enter tangenten.

Markdown

You can format your message with bold, italic, strikethrough and hypertext styles.

You can do this using the Context Menu, which you can open by highlighting and right-clicking your text within the message entry box.

Markdown context menu

Editing your message

To edit a message you sent within the chat box, right click the relevant message and click "Edit".

The original message will be placed into the message entry box for you to edit. When ready, press the return/enter key to save the edit.

An edited message will have a visible "edited" label, which when hovered over displays the previous message and when the edit occurred.

Example of an edited message

The edit option is only available for a period of up to two minutes after the message is sent.

To cancel an edit before proceeding, clear the message entry box, or keep your text the same, and press the return/enter key. A message can only be edited once and cannot be changed back.

You cannot edit a private message or a message containing a bad word.

Note: You must be a subscriber to access this feature.

Quoting

To quote messages within the chat box, right click the relevant message and click "Quote".

This will add the message to your message entry box with blockquote formatting. You can then write your own text after the blockquote formatting, within the same message. You can only quote one message at a time.

You cannot quote smilies.

Example of quoting a message and resulting message

Quick Translate

To translate individual messages within the chat box, for your view only, right click the relevant message and click "Translate"

The message will then translate into the language that you have set in your Account Settings.

Click the translated message to return it to its original form.

Quick Translate is different to the Translator feature in your Account Settings, which allows messages to be translated automatically for you and other users.

Note: You must be a subscriber to access this feature.

Example of how to translate a message

Deleting

To delete messages, right click the individual message and click "Delete".

This option applies to messages from other users only, not to your own.

Once the message or messages are deleted, they will disappear right away for all users.

Note: You have to be a Moderator or higher to use this option.

Copying

To use the copy option simply right click on a message, smiley or link and click "Copy".

Alternatively you can select the text or link you want to copy and press Ctrl+C. Once copied, paste the message in the chat box (right click or Ctrl+V).

Reactions

To react to other messages within the chat box, right click the relevant message and click "React".

The Reactions Selector will then open, and you can select the smiley you want to react with.

You can also see in detail who reacted to each message and how long ago the reaction was applied by clicking the "Who Reacted" tab.

The amount of time that has passed will display when you hover over the reaction.

Note: You must be a subscriber to access the Reactions Selector and see who reacted.

Reactions Selector

You cannot react to your own messages.

Messages can have up to 7 different reactions.

You can only react once to each message in the main chat, though you can react as many times as you want in a private chat.

You can disable reactions in your Account Settings.

Keep in mind although you will no longer see reactions, users will still be able to react to your messages.

Keyboard shortcuts

Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts (where applicable) or type the formatting elements yourself (see table below). These styles can be used in combination with each other, e.g. italic and bold at the same time.

Style Description Example Keyboard Shortcut
Bold Enclose your text within asterisks (*) Hello, *how are you?* ctrl + b
Italic Enclose your text within underscores (_) Are you _really_ sure? ctrl + i
Strikethrough Enclose your text within tildes (~) I ~love~ hate sprouts! ctrl + u
Blockquote Start your quoted text with >[ and end with ] >[I ~love~ hate sprouts] Me too! ctrl + q
Hypertext Enclose your link text within square brackets [] and then enclose your link URL within round brackets () immediately after Visit [Help chat](https://xat.com/help)!

Besökarlista

Visitorlistan är en lista över personer som chattar för närvarande i gruppen. Varje namn har en pantsätta bredvid den, och färgen indikerar sin status. De pantsätta är:

When you send a message, your pawn in the Visitors list will glow green to indicate you are talking.

When others send messages, their pawns will glow as well.

När en användare är tillgänglig betyder det att de kan få ditt meddelande, men du kanske inte får ett svar. === Smilies ---

Click the magic 8ball to open up the smiley list.

Smilies är uttryckssymboler som kan läggas till meddelanden. Du kan lägga till smilies genom att antingen klicka på en av de standard smilierna ovanför meddelandefältet, eller genom att direkt skriva koden för smiley. Till exempel är :-) koden för standardgult smiley. Det finns många extra smilies som inte ingår i standarduppsätt, som finns på fri smilies sida.

När som helst du är på en chatt sida, och du vill visa hela listan med smilies (Förutom abonnenten smilies), se till vänster om chattrutan, och ovanför den röda x är en liten ikon med fyra små smilies på den. Klickar på den här ikonen kommer du upp smileyslistan. Klicka bara på en smiley och koden för den smiley kommer att visas i din textruta. Om du vill se koden, kan du manuellt skriva in den själv, bara sväva över den smiley du vill ha koden för.

Det finns också flera shorthand smiley koder. Här är en lista:

  • :), :-) - (smile)
  • :d - (biggrin)
  • ;), ;-) - (wink)
  • :o, :-o - (eek)
  • :p - (tongue)
  • 8-) - (cool)
  • :@ - (mad)
  • :s - (confused)
  • :$ - (redface)
  • :(, :-( - (frown)
  • :'( - (crying)
  • |-) - (sleepy)
  • :|, :-| - (rolleyes)
  • :-* - (kiss)
  • :[, :-[ - (vampire)

Om du har idéer för ett nytt smiley, vänligen gör ett förslag på [$ 1 forums] eller skicka in det till en av de $2smiley makers och visa en bild av hur det kan se ut om det är möjligt.

You could also message one of the Smiley Makers and show a picture of what it might look like if possible.

GIFs

xat has integrated the GIPHY platform to allow you to search and send GIFs in the chat.

You can access this feature by clicking "GIFs" from the Quickbar.

Searching and sending GIFs.

You can click a GIF in the chat to enlarge it.

If you hover over a GIF, you will see the faint outline of a star in its top right-hand corner.

If you click the star, the GIF will be added to your favorites list. You can click the star again to remove it.

To access your favorites list, click the equivalent star located above the GIF selection list, next to the search bar.

To toggle the appearance of GIFs in the chat, click "Settings" from the Quickbar menu, and then click "Appearance" and set GIFs to your preferred option.

You can disable their animations, or set them to play once you hover over them, or disable them entirely so that links appear in their place.

GIFs are automatically purged when no longer in view, to reduce lag.

This means if a message containing a GIF is no longer visible in the chat, the GIF will be unloaded.

A filter prevents inappropriate GIFs from being sent in the chat. If a user attempts to send an inappropriate GIF, the message "[GIF link removed]" will be shown instead.

Whether a GIF is flagged as inappropriate or not depends on the rating given to it by GIPHY.

Note: You must be a registered user to access this feature.

Audies

Audies are sound effects that can be added to messages.

An audie is sent by using # followed by the name of the sound, e.g. #raspberry, #giddy, #ohh. It will appear as a sound icon in the message and play when clicked. Note that users who have the chatbox sound muted, or have the Noaudies power, will not hear audies.

Tabbed groups.

Tabbade Grupper

Ägaren till chatboxen du är på kan ha lagt till en chattgrupp i sin chattruta. Detta kommer att visas som en andra flik bredvid huvudfliken. En chattgrupp är ett delat chattrum skapat för ett visst syfte. Det här skulle kunna vara:

* Att diskutera ett visst ämne (t ex musik, anime, surfing, datorspel)
  • För en viss åldersgrupp eller typ av person, t.ex. 20-något, studenter
  • För ett visst land eller språk

Du kan også få tilgang til chatgruppene direkte ved at klikke på den grønne taleboble på venstre side af chatboxet.

Note: If you click the tab of the other group, you will be completely disconnected from the main group in order to access it.

Manage sounds.

Om du vill hitta fler chattgrupper kan du kolla in Groups page.

Slå på eller av radio

Du kan aktivera och inaktivera chatboxljud genom att klicka på högtalarikonen längst ner till höger i chattrutan. Ett avaktiverat tecken visas på det en gång klickat. För att stänga av ljudet, klicka på igen. Om du vill vrida ljudet upp eller ner, sväng markören över högtalaren och flytta pilen upp och ner för att öka eller minska volymen. Om du är huvudägare till en chattgrupp kan du ställa in eller stänga av alla standardljud genom att klicka på knappen "Redigera chatten" längst ner till höger om chattlådan. Gå sedan till "Extrafunktioner", rulla ner och du kommer att se "Standard chatbox låter till OFF". Markera rutan bredvid den, bläddra ner och klicka på "Uppdatera dessa alternativ".

If you want to turn the sound up or down, hover your cursor over the bar above one of the icons, then move it up and down to increase or decrease the volume. If you are the main owner of a chat group, you can set all default sounds to on or off by hovering over "group" at the top right, clicking "customize" and entering the group password. Then, go to the "settings" tab, toggle the "disable sounds" option to green and click "save".

Om en chatt har en radiostation kan du klicka på radiosymbolen för att slå på eller av. Du kan justera volymen på samma sätt som du kan med chattljud. Om du är huvudägare klickar du på "Redigera din chatt" och sedan "Extra funktioner" för att ställa in en radiostation. Läs mer om hur du ställer in en radiostation här.

If you're the main owner and want to add a radio station to your chat, hover over "group" at the top right and click "customize", then enter the group password, go to the "settings" tab, add your radio station in the correspondent field and click "save".

Logga In/Ut

För att logga ut ur chatboxen, tryck på knappen Logga ut längst ned till höger om chatten bredvid textrutan. Du kommer att visas längst ner i besökarlistan och kommer att listas som offline. Du kommer inte att kunna se eller skicka meddelanden tills du klicka på "Logga in" eller uppdatera sidan.

Quickbar

The Quickbar is a menu on the chat box that gives you quick access to several features and settings.

To access the Quickbar, click the arrow button on the right side of the chat.

On the mobile app, the arrow button is located on the bar above the chat.

Private message example.

Mottaga/Skicka ett Privat Meddelande

Ett privat meddelande visas i chattfönstret men har bara skickats till en person. Det är som att vara i ett rum fullt av människor och viska något till någon som du bara vill att de ska höra. Om du ser ett meddelande som har ett guld hänglås bredvid det, har den personen skickat dig ett privat meddelande som bara du kan se.

För att skicka ett privat meddelande till en annan användare, klicka på deras namn i antingen chatten eller besökarlistan. På menyn som dyker upp, klicka på "Privat meddelande" och ett stort hänglås visas på vänster sida av textrutan. Detta indikerar att nästa meddelande du skickar kommer att vara ett privat meddelande till den valda användaren.

Private chat example.

Starta/Svara på en Privat Chatt

En privat chatt är en konversation med endast två personer; Det är som att lämna ett rum fullt av människor och hitta ett privat rum att prata i. När du skickat ett privat chattmeddelande visas en flik med avsändarens namn på det under meddelandefönstret. Det blinkar för att ange ett nytt meddelande och talbubblan blir grön för att visa att du inte har läst det ännu. Klicka på fliken och du kommer att vara i en privat chatt med den personen. Medan du har en privat chatt med en person kan du också se huvudrummet och andra privata chattar som blinkar och återstår gröna för att indikera nya eller olästa meddelanden. Du kan växla mellan dessa och hålla samtal med flera personer omedelbart om du vill. När du är klar med en privat chatt, flytta markören över fliken och tryck på den röda x som verkar stänga den.

Har du blivit utloggad automatiskt?

Om du inte har skrivit ett meddelande i över 15 minuter loggar du chattrutan automatiskt ut. För att logga in, tryck på "Logga in" knappen längst ned till höger. Ägare och moderatorer logga inte ut automatiskt, så de bör vara mer försiktiga att logga ut när de lämnar för att förhindra att besökare undrar varför moderatorer / ägare inte svarar på dem.

Har du blivit sparkad?

Om du har sparkats i en chatbox måste du logga in igen om du vill fortsätta chatta. Det kommer att finnas ett informationsmeddelande som skickas till alla i rummet som säger vem sparkades, vem sparkade och orsaken till spark. Du kommer också att bli "Gagged" (kan inte skicka meddelanden) i 15 sekunder efter att ha sparkats.

Har du blivit bannad?

Om du har blivit bannad från en chattlåda har du fått ett förbjudet informationsmeddelande, din pantsätta i besökarlistan har blivit brun och ditt namn kommer att ändras till "Banned". Du kan fortfarande se meddelandena skickas (det gäller bara om chatten inte har Banish eller Banpool tilldelad), men de andra personerna i rummet kommer inte att ta emot vilket meddelande du försöker skicka. Förbudet kan vara i begränsad tid och i så fall kan du återvända senare. Förbudet kan ha varit en varning och de kan förbjuda dig förr om du förblir online en stund.

Om du tror att du har blivit orättvist bannad ska du klicka på "Rapportera felaktigt förbjud" i det stora fönstret som visas när det är bannad. Detta kommer att skicka ett meddelande till huvudägaren till chatten som säger att du har blivit bannad, varför du tycker att det är orättvist (om du inkluderade text) och din email (om du inkluderade den). Om förbudet hände när du var online skickar det ett transkript av det som nyligen nämnts på huvudchatten innan du blivit bannad, och ge chattens skapare ett alternativ att döma den person som förbjöd dig.

Om du är bannad kan bara användare som har lagt till dig som en vän se privata chattar du skickar till dem.

Profildialogruta

Klicka på ditt namn längst upp i listan Besökare för att ställa in ditt visningsnamn och avatar. Om du är ny i chatboxen kommer du att ha fått ett "toon" namn som WuggyBunch och en slumpmässig bild. Dessa är dock lätt bytbara.

Profile dialog example.

Hur ändrar jag mitt namn?

Klicka på ditt namn i chatten och ange önskat namn i rutan "Namn", eftersom du vill att den ska visas på chatten. Du kan också använda smileykoder i ditt namn, och dessa kommer att visas på listorna Besökare och vän.

Hur ändrar jag min avatar?

För att ändra bildskärmen kan du välja en av de standardbilder som visas genom att klicka på den. Varje gång du väljer en får du ett annat urval som du kan välja. Om du vill titta på ett större utbud av bilder, se standard avatarer sida. Alternativt kan du använda vilken bild du vill genom att få "Direktlänk" till en bild (du kan enkelt ladda upp bilder här). Efter att du kopierat "Direktlänk", klistra in länken i rutan "Bild" och klicka på OK.

Hur ändrar jag min hemsida?

För att lägga till en hemsida eller ange en annan, ange länken till en webbplats, t.ex. https://xat.wiki i startsidan och klicka sedan på OK. Om du har en angiven hemsida, visas en liten hemikon när du skickar ett meddelande bredvid ditt namn. Om någon klickar på det här öppnar de länken på din hemsida. Om du vill ta bort en hemsida, lämnar du helt enkelt hemsidan tom och klickar på OK.

Hur stänger jag av automatiskt inloggning i en chattruta?

Om du inte vill bli automatiskt inloggad i chattrutan på webbsidor du besöker kan du stänga av automatiskt inloggning. Klicka på ditt namn och avmarkera "Logga in mig automatiskt". Du måste klicka på knappen "Logga in" varje gång du besöker en chattruta för att visas online. För att återgå till automatiskt inloggning klickar du på ditt namn, markerar rutan igen och klickar sedan på OK.

How do I reset my ID/user data?

If you wish to reset your ID number and screen name (not your registered ID or account name), hover over "account" at the top right and click "logout". After this, refresh the chat page or go to a new chat, and these effects will take place. If you were using a registered account, your session using that account will end. Once finished, a new "toon" ID will be generated, either for you to register or just use temporarily.

Note: By doing this, some data will be deleted. Your status, enabled/disabled powers and some other information might be deleted. If you do not want to lose that data, do not reset it.

Click on your name at the top of the Visitors list to open your profile dialog, and then click the "Settings" option.

Alternatively, click the Quickbar and then click the "Settings" option from there.

You can then edit your Account Settings, using the side tabs to navigate and click "Save Settings" once you have finished saving changes.

Note: These settings are only for your account, and they will not change the settings of other users.

About

This tab has a selection of useful resources about xat.

The current xat version details are listed at the bottom of the tab.

Registering

Why register?

Registering allows you to keep your ID, rank (moderator, member, owner etc.), and Friends list on other computers (or after your cookies have been deleted).

You can also get a xatspace, which is your own personal xat profile. Registering also makes it almost impossible for other users to impersonate you, and makes it easier for your friends to tell who you are if you’re on other computers. It also allows you to buy xats and subscription time, or receive them through transfers or trades. On a few chats, you might not be able to join unless you’re registered.

Your name also appears higher on the Visitors list than non-registered users.

How do I register?

Click register at the top right, fill in the required information (email must be valid), and submit the form. Log into your e-mail and click the activation link you received from xat. Afterward, log in using your registered name and password. You may need to refresh any chats you're on for the registration to take effect. If you don't get an email, then your email service has not delivered the email. Try opening a Gmail account to register your new account.

How can I change my registered name?

Log into your xat account, then click the "change username" tab.

In the "desired name" field, type in the registered username that you want (as long as it's 10-18 characters). After that, click the "change username" button. You may need to refresh any chats you’re on in order for this to take effect.

You can only change your registered name once every 7 days.

Note: Anyone can take your old registered username if you change it to a new one.

How do I get a short name?

Instead of having a registered name that is 10-18 characters, you can purchase a short name.

A short name is a registered name that is 4-9 characters long. Short names cost at least 1,000 xats. Generally speaking, the shorter the short name, the higher the price.

You can see prices of short names or even buy one if you'd like in the xat store.

Will I keep my xat account data if I log in on another computer?

Your name, avatar, status, home page, chat ranks and Friends list will be restored if you log into your registered account on another computer or mobile device.

How do I change my password?

Log into your xat account, then click the "change password" tab.

Your xat username will be filled in automatically. Once you have chosen a new password, type your old password and new password into the corresponding fields and click the "change password" button.

If you are unsure whether the passwords are correct, you can click the visibility eye icon of each text field for a preview.

Passwords should contain at least 8 characters and consist of letters (capital and lowercase) and numbers.

The more characters you use, the stronger your password will be. Avoid using personal information like your birthday, your name, etc.

You may also want to change your password every 3-6 months to ensure maximum security of your account.

Note: Special characters (!@#$ etc) are stripped from your password when logging in, so be sure just to use alphanumeric characters (a-Z, 0-9).

How do I change my xat ID?

xat IDs are generated randomly. You can hover over "account" at the top right and click "logout" to get a new randomly generated ID. Otherwise, you can bid on IDs via the xat auction.

Note: xat does not support the trading of IDs.

How can I change my xat e-mail?

If you would like to change the e-mail account associated with your xat account, you would have to create a ticket under the "Email Change / Hint" help topic.

Note: For security reasons, you can only update to a Gmail address at this time.

What should I do if I lost my password?

If you would like to recover your xat account password, please visit the lost password page.

You will need access to your current xat account email. After filling in the CAPTCHA, enter your email and then press the submit button. A link will be emailed to you (may take up to 30 minutes to arrive) to change your password. If the email doesn't arrive after 30 minutes, check your spam/bulk folders.

Once you receive the e-mail, click the link and you will be able to reset your password.

Deleting

How do I delete my xat account?

Log into your xat account by going to https://xat.com/login.

After you have successfully logged in, click the "delete" tab.

There are two ways to delete a xat account.

Deleting an account is a permanent action that cannot be reversed.

Please make sure which option you want to use before proceeding.

{{{1}}}

IMPORTANT: This will delete all of your information from xat, including username, ID, k2, groups, xats, days, powers, gifts, marriages, and other associated data will be deleted permanently and will not be recoverable.

Information

  • You cannot delete an account that is held or with xats/days/powers on it.
  • If you just registered your account, you have to wait 14 days before you can delete it.
  • We do not encourage the reselling of IDs.
However, we recommend that you check out the Identification Numbers article for more information to avoid getting scammed in the process of selling / buying and to better understand how it works.

You can also visit the Loja chat, the official chat for trading IDs.

Interact Dialog

To interact with a person either click on their name on the Visitors / Friends lists or by a message they have sent. This will open up a dialog, which will give you more information about them and options to interact with them.

User dialog example.

Private Message

A private message is sent to only one person and no one else can see it. To send a private message, click on a person on the Visitors / Friends lists or the name on a message someone has sent, and click "Private Message". A padlock will appear on the message entry window. Type your message and press enter. When the message is sent, it will have a padlock next to it and only the person you selected will see it. To send another private message, follow the same procedure again. In some cases, Private Chats (see below) can be more useful.

Note: You may not be able to Private Message a user if they have the NoPM power.

You can click Powers for more information regarding the special abilities.

When hovering the mouse over the area around the cancel button on the padlock, you will be able to see to whom that private message is being sent. If you want to cancel it, you can just press enter with no text or click the X button inside the padlock.

Private Chat

A private chat is a one-on-one conversation in a separate tab on the chatbox.

To start a private chat, click on a person on the Visitors or Friends lists or the name on a message someone has sent and click Private Chat. A tab will appear that contains just you and the person you want to start a private chat with. When you send your first message a tab will appear on their chat box which they can choose to answer or not.

Note: You may not be able to Private Chat a user if they have the NoPC power.

Add As Friend

If you want to add someone, so you can easily find them and talk to them another time, you can add them as a friend. Click on that person on the Visitors or the name on a message they have sent and click Add as Friend. They will appear on the list in bold and move to the top of their rank. They will also be added to your Friends list, accessible by clicking on your Friends tab at the bottom of the list.

When you return to the chat box at a later time, you can click on your Friends list and see which ones of your friends are online on any chat box, not just the one you are on. You can send them a private chat or private message from your chat box to theirs. If the user has added you as a friend, you will be able to see which chat they are on so you can go there (unless the user has the NoFollow power). If you want to unfriend someone, click on their name and click "Un-Friend".

/f Add a User by their ID

If you know a person's ID number and want to add them as a friend, you can use the /fIDHERE command on the chat. You can also set a display name for the person you're adding.

Example: /f143742 Kyle

This adds ID 143742 as a friend with the display name of "Kyle".

To remove a person from your Friends list, you can either click that person, then click "Un-Friend" or use the /f-IDHERE command on the chat, and they will be removed.

Ignore

To ignore a user: click on their name on the Visitors / Friends list or in one of their messages and press "Ignore".

Their pawn will appear grey on the Visitors list to you and they will be added to your Ignored Users list. You won't be able to see any of their messages (including private chats and private messages).

However, they're still able to see your messages.

To view your Ignored Users list, click the arrow button on the right side of the chat to open the Quickbar, then select "More" and then "Ignored" from the menu.

If you wish to unignore the user and see their messages again, click the red cross next to their ID on your list. Alternatively, click on their name on the Visitors list and press "Un-Ignore".

Please note that the user will be ignored indefinitely, until you remove them from your Ignored Users list or "Un-Ignore" them.

You may also type /t in PC to ignore a user.

If you have TTTH, you can also send a full-screen smiley / message along with ignoring.

As a moderator or an owner, you're still able to see ignored users post on the main chat. To have the same effect as a member and below, hold down SHIFT prior to pressing "Ignore".

Block

To block a user: click on their name on the Visitors / Friends list or in one of their messages, then click the circle-backslash symbol at the top right and press "Block".

Their pawn will be hidden entirely on the Visitors list from you and they will be added to your Blocked Users list. Like ignored users, you won't be able to see any of their messages (including private chats/messages).

However, they're still able to see your messages.

Blocking a user

If they were a friend, they will be removed from your Friends list.

They also won't be able to click the "Private Chat" or "Private Message" buttons on your profile (not just hiding the messages from you, but preventing them from being sent in the first instance), or BFF/marry you, send you gifts, or make a transfer to you. In addition, they won't be able to see your information such as your friend status, homepage, gifts and avatar.

However, they're still able to see your registered username, ID and powers information.

To view your Blocked Users list, click the arrow button on the right side of the chat to open the Quickbar, then select "More" and then "Blocked" from the menu.

If you wish to unblock the user and see their messages again, click the red cross next to their ID on your list.

Like ignored users, blocked users remain on your list indefinitely, until you remove them.

As a moderator or an owner, you're still able to see blocked users on the Visitors list and see them post on the main chat.

Their name will appear as "Blocked User".

Bad Chat Etiquette

When using a xat chatbox, you have to abide by the Terms of Service. However, there are specific things that you might do that are considered bad etiquette and could annoy some users.

Flooding or Spamming

Flooding the chat means sending many messages in a short period of time; while spamming could be sending random nonsense messages. Doing either of these may irritate users, and may result in a ban on some chats.

Talking in CAPS

Excessive use of CAPSLOCK is often found irritating by users. You may type in CAPS if you want, but this may be against the rules in some chats.

Too Many Smilies

Using smilies livens up messages and makes the chat more fun! However, it's bad etiquette to send many smilies in a single message or to spam them. This may cause some users to lag or may be against some chat rules.

Spamming Audie Sound Effects

Audies are fun sounds that can help make the chat more fun, but repeatedly spamming them may irritate users or be against some chat rules.

Advertising

You may create chat groups or accounts relating to your services outside of xat.com. However, you may not go to other chat groups and promote your services. This is prohibited in the xat Terms of Service. In addition to this, other chat group owners tend to dislike such behavior and it may result in a ban from individual chat groups.

Asking to be staff

Asking to be a higher rank on chatrooms is a sign that you have not earned it yet. Popular chat owners are bombarded with requests from people to be made moderators/owners. If you want to be a staff member on a chatbox, you should be active on the chat, make friends with users, and try to be helpful whenever you can.

Asking for free xats, days, or powers

People work hard for their money, which they use to purchase their xat products. With this being said, it is not likely that they will give away their products for free to people who just ask, especially if they are strangers. It is recommended that you avoid asking people for free products, as this may upset them and cause you to get banned.

If you are unable to purchase your own products, or if you simply choose not to, you can join the Game chatroom and play games for a chance to win xats, days, and powers as prizes.

There is also a section dedicated to Contests and Events on the forums, which you can follow.
