So you are new to this chatting thing and you'd like some
questions answered? Here are some answers to questions that we are asked all
the time.
Since web based chat (as well as Internet Relay Chat -IRC) is a text
based form of communication we have to show emotions in a text based
environment. This is accomplished by the use of emoticons.....
or as they are called on the Net "Smileys".
Some common Smiley's are:
Sometimes you just may want to write something in Net Shorthand. Some of
the common ones are:
Another thing we are asked all the time is how to write HTML code and how to
show pixs. HTML is the language used to write web pages. The most common
codes are:
:-) Happy ;-) Winking :-( Unhappy :-* Blown Kiss =:-0 Surprise, hair standing
on end
*L* Laughing *LOL* Laughing out
loud *ROTFL* Rolling on
the floor laughing *ROTFLMAO* Rolling on
the floor laughing my ass off BTW By the way IMHO In my humble
opinion

You can also use hexidecimal numbers. There are many places |
Another thing folks always want to know is how to put up a
picture. First thing is the pix MUST be located on a server somewhere. It
can be on your server, or it can be on a server anywhere in the world. What
you must have tho' is a URL for that pix.
To put up a pix type:
That's all. For me to show this pix of a wolf doing something natrual I typed:
(IMG width=60 SRC="https://members.tripod.com/~wolfpaw/CARTOONS/SHIT.gif") REMEMBER USE < > NOT ( )
When looking for pix.... you should keep in mind that pictures that are
large in size can cause some folks computer problems. Be a considerate
chatter and keep the image size low.
One more thing we are always asked: "What is Caching?":
The first time a page is requested, Netscape downloads the page
from the Internet. Each page you retrieve is temporarily stored in a cache.
If you subsequently request a page you have previously acquired, Netscape
checks to see if the page is available in the cache. If you click on the
Back button, you'll notice that cached documents are displayed much faster
than when you first displayed the document.
There may be times when you suspect your cache is acting incorrectly, or
maybe you just want to free up some memory space. The caches are clearable
by pressing the Clear Memory Cache Now and Clear Disk Cache Now buttons.
Well we hope that we had explained some of the things you can do,we hope that this has helped you out a great deal
