This is a quick guide to using the new IM and Chat beta launch.

Rooms Tab:
The global-chat is open to all registered fans.

There is another room that is reserved for users of a certain level, and you'll also see that in the Rooms tab. In the past, we've had a few ランダム people come in and hit on the people in the chat rooms, so the reserved room should be relatively free of such riff-raff.

Contact Tab:
Setting custom status messages: click on the pencil, and type away!

Turning off chat: Click on the bubble 次 to "I am online" and click on the red "Log out" option on the menu.

Contacts are your mutual ファン that are currently online *and* signed into chat. あなた need to be mutual ファン to see each other on chat.

Notifications:
Your browser may ask あなた to allow ファンポップ to send あなた notifications. This will pop up a small window in the corner of your screen if someone sends あなた a message and lets あなた see messages without having your ファンポップ browser tabs in the foreground.

Future features:
We're looking into a feature that lets あなた create a smaller ファン 一覧 specifically for chat in case あなた get too many messages when logged in.

Some ファン have requested an invisible mode, so we are considering that, as well.

Private multi-fan chat rooms are being considered.

Mute (no audio) and auto-away are also on the list.

Thanks for trying it out!
