Account Controls

Your Account Controls handle the core features of your account.

Primary Account Name - 

This is the name that will show up in the directory listing for each sister site. It is also usually the name you first purchased your account under. However you can change it at any time. The name you purchased it under, even if you delete it, will stay 'hidden' and unable to be registered by others as long as you keep the account paid for. [This may change in the future as the software changes.]

You can get to this area at any time and any room by clicking on [People].

Existing Password/New Account Password

This section is pretty self explainitory. Simply put in your existing password, and what word you want to change it to. Remember to keep your account secure, do not share this information with anyone else. However should you share and the account become comprimised, simply email Seph and she will get it fixed for you. Remember whenever you have to email her from visitor mail, to include a contact email so she can respond.

Msg Forwarding

This is a relativly new feature offered at hyperchat in the last couple of years. Unfortunitly, the only draw back is that it currently affects all handles and not just the ones you chose. The great thing is that if you own multiple accounts you can have all of your messages forwarded to the same account regardless of the tail. So if you have one jag and one soi account, you can have all of the messages forwarded over and no worry about missing a message anymore. It even tells you where the message was originally sent to.

Select Room Layout

Select Room Layout consists of two options. The first is 'Room Format'. This option is now defunct. Some features that used to exist as a part of hyperchat are no longer available but have not as yet been removed from the control panel. This is one of them. 

The other option for this section is 'Blockquote text'. When you have block quote selected, and you are in a room or cork that does not have avatars displayed, [For example, the Jag Cork] when you look at the posts there is a space before the post under the name. The post text is pushed a bit to the right under the name. If the blockquote is not selected then the post and the posters name will both be flushed to the left.

Select height and width of chat box

Select height and width of chat box. This option is available to reset the site of your personal textarea when posting. You can can make it wider or taller or even smaller if you want. A perk of this is not having to always pull at the bottom right corner to resize when reviewing a post before hitting the send button.

Language Selection

There are three options for languages. The do not change all text, but links and some other things are charged. You have the options of English, French & German.

Miscellaneous Operating Characteristics

This last section has 8 features.

1. Server Jump -

If you chose yes, you will atumatically, go from soi to bwr or jag to gor. If you chose not to, you will get stopped at a white page directing you onward with a link.

3. Display Avatars -

This is an easy one. Selecting no, will turn off your abillity to see avatars in all rooms and corks. Private or public. Not only that, but whatever avatar you had previously selected for yourself also does not post until you re-enable it. This is great for when you are on a mobile and want to increase loading time or save on datacharges. Or if you are chatting from say work, while on break and don't want coworkers to see anything NSFW. Do keep in mind that all other room images will still load.

4. Links/Buttons -

** Waiting on a reply from seph. Know the answer? send me a pm!

5. HotList Defaults -

By ticking the box, you have the options of hiding or showing Rooms & Corks from the Hotsheet. You also have the option to hide people's color strings. All names will look the way that a visitors would look. Just the simple default black and plain text.

6. Room Defaults -

This option allows you to decide if you want to remove the colors and fonts people use for their chat handles and have everyone look the same as visitors would look.

7. Security Method -

Offiial documenation is located [Here].

8. Stay Logged in/Log out? -

As stated above, hyperchat now uses cookies to track where you have logged in at. Making this decision is based solely on how secure you feel about your account. If you live alone and no one has access to your physical computer or that computer is very secure, then you should feel safe staying logged in. Basically it means that even when you close your browser, when you reopen and come to hyperchat via bookmarks, you no longer have to put your password in every time. However it means too anyone sitting down at your computer who might find the same bookmark can access your account and read your messages or your posts. Even post as you. Only select that option if you feel your account would be secure from others in your home gaining access. Like any online account, remember not to share your passwords. It could compremise the security of your account.
