HI Lila,

I saw you in the chat, but thought you were waiting for someone. If you open a chat, anyone is welcome to come in and say "hello" and converse. If there is already a chat in progress, you will see some of the previous conversation (or all of it depending on how long the chat has been in progress before you join in). You can also come in and out of a chat (bathroom breaks, etc) and scroll up/down, or re enter.

Sadly, what you typed will not stay unless the chat was ongoing and someone else was in there with you. Example: if I join a chat, and keep it open all day long (which I do not suggest you do) you will see who came in/out, what was said, etc. If you close to the chat, it goes away. Sorry you were you were alone with the trees (haha), I should have said hello to you. Sometimes members go in to chat so what is said is not saved on their wiki walls. With G5 now allowing a game friends chat, our wiki chat may not be in use often. Sometimes we schedule chats; New Years, SuperBowl, sometimes they are spontaneous (like yours was today). Sometimes someone will post to someone's wall "chat?" and then those members know to open the chat to... well, chat! =)

Everyone is welcome to the chat at anytime. Sometimes Admin have a chat as it's easy to get everyone there at the same time (and it is on the wiki so others can see what is said). That does not happen often, but you will see who is on the chat (admin have a yellow star next to their name).

The chat is public, you can private chat with people in the public chat, just click their name, a different screen will show up and only those in the private chat can see what is said. I have seen that option used more for side conversations, not for anything under handed or sneaky. Once I had to explain to someone about football during the super bowl chat (which was funny because I know so litttle about football and here I was explaining it to someone else!!) so i used private chat to do that.

Anyway, hope this helps answer your question.

Hope you don't mind I chimed in here Podaci, please add anything I may have missed. =)
