Chatting - choosing position and entering text.

Now that you are in chat mode, you can enter messages. To do this, click anywhere on the gray part of the screen - this part is the blackboard, where we enter messages. Where you click, your cursor will be displayed. Here your message will be sent. All messages in factCHAT have a position in the blackboard. After you have chosen your position, and you can see the cursor, you can start entering the message.

Messages are limited to a certain number of characters, and are automatically wrapped at a certain number of characters. To send the message you typed, hit Enter. Note that while still writing the message, you can click, or drag with the mouse to change the position of the message on the screen.

The main idea of the factCHAT is the fading messages interface. You can see that older messages fade away to the background. Thu, the last messages are best visible. Try not to post messages over the ones of the other users.

You can change the number of messages that are displayed on the screen at the same time, by dragging the "zoomer" that is at the bottom-right of the blackboard. The minimum value is 5, and the maximum is 40.
