See that little chat box down there? That's our CBox. As said in the rules, all general rules of the site apply there, but this thread is to provide some general information about how to use the CBox.
1) You can't submit a message longer than 200 characters into the CBox. I wish I could change it, but I can't.
2) How to get an avatar on the CBox:
- Go onto tinypic.com and find a picture you like. It doesn't have to be of your character.
- Get the tinypic URL for the image. The easiest way to do this is to left-click on the image, select properties, and copy the URL given. Of the URLs given on the site, you want the URL for direct layouts.
- Paste the URL into the link and write a message. When your message is posted, it should be accompanied with your avatar.
NOTE: Every time you change pages, you will have to reenter this URL.
3) The CBox is mainly for chatting with other members while out-of-character. If you and a friend decide to do random in-character banter, in the name box, write "Your Name (IC)"... just to avoid possible misunderstandings.
4) The CBox is guest-friendly. Just a reminder before you start telling your life's story.
Have fun with the CBox!
