Hackett Chat
Get your own Chat Box! Go Large!

Profile Dialog

Click YourName at the top of the visitors list on the right to set up your profile. If you are new to the chat box you will have been assigned a silly name like WuggyBunch and a random picture but these are easy to change.

How do I change my Name?

Enter your name in the name edit box as you want it to appear on the user list. You can use smilie codes in your name if you want to and these will be displayed on the visitors and friends lists.

How do I change my Picture?

To change your display picture choose one of the default images shown by clicking on it. Every time you choose one you will get another selection from which to choose. If you wish to look at a wider selection of images click the more… button and follow the instructions. Alternatively, you can use any picture you like but it must be uploaded somewhere on the Internet to do this. Paste the link / url into the Picture box. You can upload your own images to photobucket for use on the chat box.

The best way to upload a picture is to use http://photobucket.com and create an account. If you do not want to register you may usehttp://tinypic.com which has more limits to bandwidth and less upload options but requires no registration. Once you upload it, you must copy the Direct Link, and click your name, and place it into your Picture box (be sure to delete anything already there!)
