How To Sign Up For The XAT Chat-Box

[Admin]

Hey everyone! If you've found your way to this thread, you probably need a little bit of help getting our chat box to work. So, I've decided to put a very simple guide together for how to get it to work.

---

Step One | Scroll down to the bottom of any page and you'll find our chat box. Below, I've posted a still image of what the chat would look like. The red box will either list "Sign in" or "Sign out" based on whether or not you are logged in. If you are "logged out" click log in and move on to the blue box. If you are "logged in", move on to the blue box. Where the blue box is highlighted would be your account. XAT will automatically assign a default name that you will need to change before you will be made a member. All you have to do right now is click the box!

Step Two | Once you click your name, you will be given a whole host of account information, but I'll only focus on the two big ones that you'll need to consider when you sign up. The very first thing to do would be to go to the area that is highlighted in red. You can put in whatever name you would like in that area, and you can change it at any time, so don't be too worried about not being able to fix it. If you would like to stop there, you can just hit the "OK" button at the bottom and wait for a staff member to accept you. However, the flaw with signing in this way is that, if the chat box restarts, or you would like to log in elsewhere, you will have to go through the entire process again. If you would like to register for an account with XAT, go ahead and click the blue highlighted "Register ... " button. If you don't want to, you can close out and you're ready to go!

Step Three | So you decided to click the blue button? Well, when you click it, you'll have a new page open, one that should look like this. On your first visit, you'll want to click "Register for a xat ID" and fill out all the fields, simply following their instructions. This "Login" page is also helpful when you reset your cookies, or you decide to log in through a different computer: you will retain your member status and will not have to wait to be un-guested by staff.
