opposed to a statement). For example:
*Guest1 rolls his eyes. To do this click on the pull down menu and select "send
as action"

sound, click on the pull down menu and select "send as sound" an option
box will pop up and you may select your sound and also send a message with it if you wish.
There is also an ignore feature located in
the pull down menu, use this if you recieve an excessive amount of unwanted text from a
user. The person stays ignored until you log off the chatroom |
