Making your own chat room

As in "Getting into a chat room," except: instead of #5:

1. Click Add Chat
2. Give your room a name, and a password if you want, then click add
3. Go back to your buddy list, and double click on the chat you created.
4. If you want a basic, temporary non password protected room, just click Accept Defaults, otherwise Configure Room:
   1. If clicked configure, change settings as you wish, be sure to click Make room password protected, and insert the password you picked if you want it to be password protected.
   2. To later change settings, type "/config" in the chat room.

Handy tip, even if you don't make a room persistent, it will stay in your buddy list, and you can easily recreate it to use again Another Pro tip: type /help for a list of commands (in any client)
