Hey all, Linkbean here. I would like personally welcome you to SynerGenesis community! I thought that to help you get used to this site, I would make a guide for the chatbox, which is the most used...thing on this site.

To access the chatbox is easy. Its in the taskbar at the top of any page on the site.

From there, you'll see a chatbox, hosted by Xat.

On the right side of the chatbox, you'll see a list of names. Orange means Owner/Admin, which are the main caretakers of the chatbox. White are Moderators, and they help manage the chatbox as well, but aren't as high rank. Blue are members, the chatters of the box. Green are guests, who aren't "in" the chat and red are offline. The star next to their name means they have a Xat account.

The center area is the most used area, the chat area! this is where you chat with others.

On the left side, outside of the chatbox, is the SGC hub, which has some useful links to places such as our Facebook page, and our Steam group.

If this is your first time on the box, you won't be allowed to talk, because you will be a guest. The first thing you need to do in order to be allowed in the chat is change your name. This can be done by clicking on your name (it will be something along the lines of SmoochKin, BunnyBoot, etc.). After this, PC (Private Chat) an Owner or Mod. To do this, click on their name and then click Private Chat.

In PC, only you and the person you are PCing with can see these messages. Ask if you may join, and if they are see your request, they will promptly let you into the chat! Now you can chat away with everyone who is online!

Now that you're in, you need to know how some things work on the chatbox.

Many people use a program know as Prntscr or Lightshot. This is used to quickly take a cropped screen shot of something on your screen. You can then easily upload it so others can see, save it to your computer, or other options. This is used to easily show people pictures of other things you are looking at, or for capturing funny moments on the chatbox.

Another thing is Private Messaging (PMing). This is just like PC, but your messages show up in Main Chat instead of another chat tab. Only the other person can see it, however.

Example:

Here's a few tips:

1: Be prepared to see many, many links. We like to share with others what music we're listening to, videos we're watching, etc.
2: Don't be afraid to speak! We're all very open, and talk to each other about all sorts of things!
3. If you get kicked or banned, it was for something you did wrong. If you don't want to happen again, find out why you got kicked so it won't happen again.
4. Enjoy yourself! We're all friends here!

Green are members, who aren't "in" the chat and red are offline.

After the second screenshot, members should be guest.

Nice guide though, it tells people what they need to know without being wordy or annoying.
