How about a sticky with some how-to's of the Chat?

For instance:

- how to get a user name, and keep it. (Mine keeps going away)

- how to put your name on Members, not Visitors

- where do those name colors come from?

- how to make those little pics that some people use

That's all I can think of at the moment. Thanks!

Hi Sarah,
When anyone comes on chat, you can register a name so no one else can use it go to www.ustream.tv. Then come to chat and where you would type hi, you need to type /login starting with the slash. If you do not want to register a name you can just type /nick nameyouwant, again starting with slash. If it does not accept the name try adding _ or some numbers after name. EXAMPLE: /nick sarah_1234. You can not have any spaces in your name. Hope this helps.

hi Sarah, there is the daily made Boma chit chat thread here in the forum which is via africam login to post but the chat page via UStream needs you to be registered with ustream to always show your name, or you can have a temporary name on the chat by typing "/login yourname"  without the quotes and put in the name you want to use where it says yourname.  You would need to do that each time you go into the chat if you aren't registered with ustream.  I am not one that uses that chat nor a mod for there but this is my understanding on how it works.  I hope this helps.

Hello!

I'm having problems logging into the chat. I type in/login and that works but when I actually put my username in and password it just goes straight back to blank boxed asking me to put my username and password in again?

Thanks for any help.

some sort of problem has taken NK, EP (refresh cam) and PPO offline about midnight CAT.  It has been reported.

Hi Friendlygal,

Welcome to Africam. If you are looking for the fast chat, you will need to register a name at ustream.tv. You will then have to nick up in the chat room with that name bye typing

( /nick thenyourname ). This should allow you to be able to chat.

hi friendlygal, there are a couple ways to chat with others one is the daily created chit chat thread in the Boma forum. Today's chat thread can be found HERE the other is what some fondly call fast chat which is a live chat room.  You can get to those by clicking on the word " (chat) " at the left of here, under streaming cam of the waterhole cam you want to watch and have a chat window also.   The chat room does require you to register differently then here at Africam as it uses the Ustream chat program.

eta: the chat linkage for the NK and EP streaming cams are the same chat room.  Since the potted plant owl cam is down till next season that chat room is pretty much inactive at this time I think.

Hello, my name is Friendlygal, and I have been watching these cams for a few days now, and they are magnificent!  My one question is though, where is the chat rooms? I have searched all thru the sites, and cannot find them.  I would like to be able to meet everyone, and chat, but it is proving to be very difficult, lol....hope to meet u all soon!
