If you have disabled chat and would like to re-enable it, simply go back to the Chat tab, and click 1708046616816.png to re-join chat and re-enable the docked chat window on the site.



Joining Rooms

By default, you will be placed in the "DPF General Chat" room — in general this will be where members gather to chat in real-time, but as needs arise and forum activity increases, more rooms will be created!
To explore the other available chat rooms, click on the 1708044782284.png button, and Click the 1708044950359.png button next to the room you wish to join:

The /whisper command

use the /whisper command followed by the username in brackets and your message to to send a private message to anyone in the chat room — this message will only be seen by the user you've directed your message at.

Usage example: /whisper [Cicada] Hello!

Result (targeted user's end): 1708045519514.png

Alternatively, you can simply click on the user's name in the list of chatters in the room and click "Whisper", followed by your message — your chat edit box will automatically populate with the username and the /whisper command.
