URL Shorteners

Some users of Help are using link shorteners that aren’t trusted sources. One in particular, which was developed by a user, was made specifically for Help. Please do not use these links, as there have been problems arising from them. Only popular ones, like tinyurl or bit.ly, should be used.

Unassign from Deleted Chat TUTORIAL

Jesse — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 14:37:21 +0000

Unfortunately, not every chat obeys xat.com/terms.html. When this happens, they might get deleted. And if you have group powers assigned to the deleted group, that can be even more troublesome! But, there is a solution.

When you login, you will see a link like xat.com/xat123456. Take the NUMBERS from that link (in this case 123456), and put them at the end of this link:

http://xat.com/web_gear/chat/embed.php?id

So in this case, the link would be http://xat.com/web_gear/chat/embed.php?id=123456. You can then sign onto the chat (it will be members only and all staff will be removed so you can’t talk), and then unassign them that way.

If you are lost on how to get this to work, ask a moderator on xat.com/Help, giving them the link that looks like xat.com/123456 and explaining you want to unassign. They’ll be happy to help.

Goodluck!

How to Reset your ID

Jesse — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 12:25:55 +0000

Here you’ll learn how to get a new ID on xat chat.

STEP 1: Right click the chat, and click Settings. Example!

STEP 2: Click the Folder icon, and drag to 0MB, then click Close. Example!

STEP 3: Refresh the page, and click “Allow” when it requests storage. You now have a new ID! You can now register it (note you cannot use your old register name / email as it’s already taken). If you change your mind you can always login at xat.com/login.

WARNINGS
-Make sure your old ID is registered, if it isn’t you will never be able to recover it.
-You can only reset your ID about once an hour.
-Any Macros you set will be lost forever so keep a list of them somewhere!
-Any “New User”s you’ve created may be unrecoverable.
