Chat users may encounter the following types of messages:
When a user joins a room, system messages posted earlier are not displayed to them by default. This behavior can be adjusted in Settings -> Community -> Chat -> First load of messages.
Once joined in a room, users can start sending messages. A message typed into the text box can be sent either by clicking the Send button or by pressing Enter.
A new line can be inserted by pressing Shift + Enter.
Users can send messages either to all users present in the room, or to a selected user. Recipient of the message can be specified via the drop-down list below the message text box.
If user selects Everyone, the message will appear to all users in the room.
If a particular user is selected, then only the selected user will be able to see the message. The following example shows how such message appears to the sender:
The recipient will see the message as follows:
After a private message is sent, the selector will revert the selected recipient back to Everyone. To prevent this and keep sending messages to a specific user, the sender should check the check-box on the left-hand side of the selector.
