1.  To create a one-on-one chat, simply click on the users name under “Users in Current Room” and start chatting.

2.  To create a public chat room outside of the main chat room, click “Create Room” mark “public” and then alert everyone in the main room that there is a public chat room and its name.  They will have to click “Join Room” and scroll through the list of rooms to find your chat room to join.

3.  For a private chat room, click “Create Room” mark “private” and type the names of the users you would like to invite, separated by commas.  Tell the users in the main room to click “Join Room” and look for your private chat room.

4.  To "ping" a user who is online on IDF Friends but not signed in to chat, just click on the users name under “Online Users” and they will receive a pop up message from you asking them to chat.
