Chat Commands - Help

May 1, 2005 01:37 PM

Topics: Tips & Tricks

Like to learn a few Skype chat commands. Just type in "/help" the next time you are in a chat session. Skype displays a set of available commands:

/add
/help
/topic
/me
/history
/find
/fa or /
/leave
/alertson [text to match]
/alertsoff

/alertson is one of the more interesting. It will activate a bubble alert for any word(s) you associate with it. Useful in long multi-chats where you may just be searching or waiting for a particular topic to come up.

Thanks! The /alertson command is defintely useful. Already implemented it with parameters like: "action", "calendar" and names of people.

But, seems that you can't use it for more than one signle word. When you write "/alertson calendar action myName" the alert will appear only for the exact phrase "calendar action myName".

Just a little fix to make this feature like the standard comma delimeted tags marking (tag1, tag2, tag3...) and it's a original contribution of skype to the IM experience...

Very glad to know about SKYPE, while very other few people knows about yet. I'd like to ask when did SKYPE established. Deoes SKYPE allows creating a seperate invidual profile page.
