3 questions

Can anyone answer these questions for me?

1. Avatars

Can you have more than 1 avatar? I have 2 nephews and I would like to have both of their pictures as a avatar.

2. Posting in this box

I find that when I post in this box, that when I get to the bottom of it, that the screen flickers and keeps taking my cursor back to the previous line.
I then have to scroll down to a fresh line to continue. This is damn annoying. Am I doing sometyhing wrong?

3. Chatting Live

Often it says, "1 person chatting live". Does this mean that the person is chatting to themselves, LOL! Or does it mean that they are logged in, waiting
for someone else to login, so that they can chat to them.

I don't know the answer to your first question.

As to the second, I've never had it happen here, but have had it happen at sleepguide.com and it is irritating as ole billy heck!

Your third question I can answer: two things could be the answer, your assumption - or - they forgot to sign out when they left Chat.

1. You can only have 1 avatar, but you can either make a composite picture or put another picture in your signature.

2. I don't know what that is. make sure you are setting the slider bars to the right appropriately. There are two of them, 1 for this box and 1 for the browser window. If that doesn't work, try a different browser.

3. Someone has to be first. Maybe the person in there is just waiting for someone to join them?

You can only show one avatar pic at a time, and when one is switched out for another, the first one is gone. If you want to rotate your pictures, you would need to upload them over and over...you don't have storage space to keep multiple pics.

I've had that issue happen from time to time over the years, but it is temporary, usually. I think it is browser based so logging out and back in might rectify it. Try another browser.... If you are using IE, switch to Firefox (better anyway) or Chrome.

I don't use the chat room, but I've read that sometimes a person will open it and wait for arrivals.
Yes, that blue eyed beauty is my cat! He is a seal point, bi-color Ragdoll. I adopted him in '08 from folks who could no longer care for him. He is a joy and makes me smile each and every day.
