Some IMPORTANT usage notes:
Because WebChat allows display of pictures from around the world, it is always possible that a picture is unavailable when your browser tries to get it. If your browser seems to hang, that is probably why. You can proceed by pressing the STOP button - in most cases you'll get all the text, just not all the pictures. Also, if someone sent a huge picture that you don't want to wait for, STOP will help you there as well. Please be respectful of others - try not to send huge inline .gifs. Thanks!

To get more messages, press the CHAT button; not your browser's Reload button.

To put a .gif or hyperlink in your message, type the address of the destination, but don't use HTML markup language. Example:

Right: http://www.irsociety.com/Welcome.html
Wrong: ..A HREF="http://www.irsociety.com/Welcome.html>...
