If the new name is not available it will not save the change and you can try another name.

The system won’t let me log into vidchat. It says the user name already exists and that I have to log in under a different name. Why is this?

This can happen if you navigate away from Vidchat without clicking “Exit Vidchat” first.It will clear by itself after a while or you can amend your user name by adding a 1 or a zero to the end of your user name, then go to VidChat.VidChat seems to work best when you choose the option to click on “Open Video Chat In Popup”. Then when you want to stay on vidchat but do something else in BateWorld you can go between browser pages.

Which membership do I need to start a Group?

In order to start a group, your profile must have premium member status. If your premium membership expires, you may still access your own groups in order to maintain them. You will not be able to start any other groups until your premium membership status has been reinstated.

When I click on a member’s name for their profile, all I get is a brief description. How do I see their full profile?

Once you click on their name and you see the small profile box, there will be a small down arrow in the bottom right hand corner. Click on that, it will drop down to give you some choices. One of them is Profile, which will give you a pop up of that member’s full profile.

How do I disable the Chat function?

You’ll notice that the Chat bar and Show/Hide arrow have disappeared from the bottom of your browser window. Chat is now disabled.

What is a Phantom or Ghost Notification and how do I get rid of them?

What is a Phantom or Ghost notification? The “New Update” icon shows up on the upper right corner of your screen. One or more “Friend Requests” show up but when you click on it, there are no new Friend Requests. Once again, click on the “New Updates” icon. Click the X next to the Phantom notification (on the left) and that should solve the problem. Just clicking on the X on the right side of the New Update will not affect the items inside and they will show up again next time you log on or when you get a new message, Friend Request, etc. For more information, please review the Site Related Issues Forum entry: Phantom Notification Topic
