Welcome

Our chat rooms are availble to anyone who has a java compatible web browser. We are not responsible for any of the activity that takes place within the chat rooms. Use common sense when chatting with other people.

Rooms 0-499 are public and should be used for open discussion forums. Rooms 500 to 999 can be "locked" and should be used for private conversions, where access needs to be restricted.

Some Things You Should Know

This application runs on 32-bit systems only (i.e., Windows 95 & Win NT).
To post a message in a room, type the message and hit the Send Message button (or press Return in the message text field).
To send a private message (one that only the intended recipient can read), click their name in the Who's In The Room list (this enables the Private Message button). Type the message as usual and then hit the Private Message button.
To change rooms, enter a room number (0 to 999) in the Room field (in the bottom right corner) and hit the Move To New Room button. Alternatively, you can enter special rooms by choosing one of those displayed in the Themed Rooms menu.
Rooms 500-999 can be locked to prevent others from seeing your conversation. Hit the Lock Room button to do this. A Room Status of "Public" means that the room cannot be locked.
Spaniel Chat stores the last 500 messages entered for the entire system. Whenever you enter a room, a maximum of the last ten messages for the room are displayed. Messages sent while the room is locked are not recorded. Once you leave a locked room, you will not be able to see the messages there again.
To find out where other users are, hit the Find People In Other Rooms button. This tells you the location of all users except those in locked rooms.

Have Fun and Happy Chatting!
