Chat rooms

There are two pre-defined chat boards:

Chat rooms
chat.general Where do you want to go today? This is a public chat room, open for all members of the group Registered Users. Come in, let's talk about ...
chat.admin Staff meetings Access to this chat room is restricted to members of the group System Administrators. Please take a look at the system administrator tools on how to restrict access to a chat room.

Default settings for both chat boards (see "chat_general.bbs" and "chat_admin.bbs") are 20 messages per display and a refresh time of 5 seconds. This means that the whole board is reloaded by the web browser every 5 seconds. You can change these values to whatever you want, but keep in mind that increasing the refresh time will cause a higher system load (and more transferred data), decreasing it might slow down the response time, because a posting takes longer to reach all participants.

Again, please check the online documentation for details about creating an maintaining chat rooms.
