Hello everyone! Well welcome finally to my blog. I hope you like looking around and snooping to see if I am the mole. But of course I'm not! <3
Anyhow, I had this great chat today with Cheri, Jill, Kyle, Blaise and Richard! We were just fooling around guessing if the mole was among us (which I think otherwise!). It was a great hour for all of us and I think these are five of the most wonderful people in the cast! When we were chatting, some people brought up problems with the new GChat and being the beauty and brains that I am, I was happy to answer their questions! For example, some people are having trouble figuring our who is who in emails and in GChat because not everybody changed their names from the defaults (so everybody shows up as Player One, Player Two, etc!).
To change the names of your contacts for easier identification in Chat, here are some steps:
- 1. Invite everybody to your email/GChat list. You should be able to do this on the Add Contact link near the GChat window in your Gmail account. Note that everybody's emails are omc6playerXY@gmail.com, where XY is their player number! Travis can be invited at omc6host@gmail.com.
- 2. Next, click on the Contacts link. This can be found at the above the GChat window!
- 3. Go to Most Contacted/Suggested Contacts.
- 4. For both panels, Select All and click Move To My Contacts.
- 5. Click My Contacts.
- 6. You should see all the people you've added there but their names are not what they are supposed to be!
- 7. Click the contact/person you want to edit.
- 8. Click the Edit button.
- 9. On the top-most box, add the name that you want that player to be identified as. If you're confused as to who is who, I have a list of all the players and their numbers at the right side of the blog! Convenient! <3
- 10. Click Save.
- 11. Unclick/unselect the person that you just edited. If you don't, you won't be able to click the Edit button!
- 12. Repeat 7-11 for the rest of your contacts!
- 1. In the GChat window, click on the contact you want to start the Chat with. A small window should pop up in the lower right part of your screen!
- 2. [EXTRA STEP] Click Pop-out. The conversation window should be its own window now and not part of your original browser. I like to pop out all my chats (especially those ones with more people) so that I have more room to see all the messages. I hate scrolling!
- 3. Click on Options, then select Group Chat.
- 4. Then, it will ask you to invite more people. Add the email addresses of the contacts you want to include.
- 5. [EXTRA STEP] If you want to add more people after the chat started, scroll back to the top of the Chat window and there you will see the Invite More People link again!
