Profile/Logbook Editor V2 :)

18/11/2009 01:39 Written by TigerBear

Dear Crew & Passengers

We have just released a bug fix for the new editor. It is now possible for those people who couldn't insert images to now do so. Also, when using a template in the logbook, it's now calling the logbook templates (which are slightly wider) instead of the profile ones.

Kind regards

New Logbook/Profile Editor!!

17/11/2009 03:10 Written by TigerBear

We decided it’s time for an update. Tonight we launched the first version of our new Logbook/Profile editor. You’ll see it has a lot more functionality than the old one and it has an added bonus... it’s compatible across all browsers! We couldn’t ask for more!

Ok, maybe one or two things more... right now, when you go to insert an image, all images are shown in a list format. Once you select one, you’ll see a preview, however you are not able to view images via a thumbnail view at this time. There is an additional quirk in the editor that is preventing some people from uploading images into logbook messages from both their own photo albums and from the chat graphics. We are investigating this and will hopefully update the editor further in the next few days.

Also, you will be unable to put a personalised background image or colour behind your text – we can assure you that these missing features will be added at a later date. So be warned, if you currently have a background image/colour on your profile and then save using our new editor, chances are, the save process will remove it.

In the past, the profile editor did not allow for templates, however we are delighted to inform you that we have also added 108 new templates which can be used for both the Profiles and Logbook messages. These can be used to replace your personalised backgrounds for now :)

We hope you like it and continue to assure you of our commitment to improve the chat over time.

Wishing you all a safe journey on the good ship.

Kind regards
ChatTeam

Dear Passengers & Crew

In celebration of November 5th, this month's promotion will be for the /throwfireworks emote.

Unlike previous months, this is not a daily competition. ALL entries will receive the emote.

Our http://chatwbc.com/SMS page will be updated either later today or tomorrow, however the text information (number and code) and terms and conditions remain the same as last month.

Don't forget to put your chatname after "win" or else you will NOT receive the emote.

Although we will attempt to apply the emote to your account in as fast a time as possible, please allow up to 48 hours to receive the emote.

Wishing you all a safe voyage.

Kind regards

ChatTeam

We need your help.

What is a Navigator?

Navigators are chatters who volunteer to spend a lot of time helping out and keeping order on the chat.

The ideal Navigator knows every little secret on the Chat, he or she is extremely patient, both when helping out newbies and when dealing with occasional trouble.

Only very experienced chatters become Navigators, so if you feel like helping others and want to help make the chat a nice place for everyone, it could be just the challenge for you.

How to become a Navigator

Would you like to be a Chat Navigator?

Before answering this question there are some things you should know.

Being a Navigator is not an easy role to fulfil. It is demanding, takes hard work and dedication and a lot of online time.

As a navigator you're an ambassador for the Chat. This means that chatters watch everything you say and do. Behave inappropriately, and it gives all Navigators a bad name. Being helpful at all times when on and off watch, shows what a great team we are.
Navigators are the first people new chatters meet and their most important task is to make sure that these newbies have a good experience the first time they are on board.
Some chatters will see it as their job to try to wind you up. If they succeed, they win. If they don't, everyone wins :) Therefore you have to be helpful and patient when people ask you a question. As a Navigator your behaviour should be spotless on the chat at all times.

If you are the kind of person who gets emotional easily, then being a navigator may not be for you. You must be objective always; NEVER taking sides, even when your friends are involved, and always play devils advocate. Never make assumptions.
You must be able to keep confidences, both chatters and other Navigators may come to you with problems. And you will also be the first to find out about new things too ? you must be able to keep these things close to your chest! Having the patience of a saint too is necessary! Some chatters take a while to help, and you need to ensure that your personality can cope with these demanding times.

You should also ask yourself, Am I a team player? This is a very important question as the Navigator system can only work with a team spirit. All ranks working together for a common goal.

All this said, being a navigator is very rewarding. Just ask any of our existing Navigators and they will tell you that nothing beats the feeling of when you help a chatter or solve a dispute and receive a huge Thank you.
So, still interested? Then you also need to meet the following criteria.

You must have been a chatter for at least 6 months.
You must have a minimum chat rank of Midshipman.
You must have a clear chat record, with no serious bans/behaviour issues in the last 6 months.
You must also have completed the 5 standard chat quests. /sing, /shout, /whisper, /sleep, /love

If you meet the criteria above, there is still one more thing to do. To become a Navigator you have to pass the Navigator Exam.

If you would like to be a navigator, and do not qualify yet, then take this time to get to know everything there is to know about the chat. The more you know, the more you'll be able to help others.

So, join the Navigator Team and help make Chat the fun and friendly place you want it to be! Keep an eye on the bridge for opportunities to register for the exam!
