jChatBox users log as guest users. It means they only need
a nickname to join a chatroom. Then they could broadcast their
messages or send private messages.
All
users need to fill in nickname
form AND
select a chatroom to join
it. Depending on client or skin, it could be done in different
ways :
HTML/JavaScript - mIRC skin :
First, user selects a chatroom in the list. Information
(name, subject, users) about the selected chatroom will be
automatically updated.
Then he fills in a nickname before following "Enter"
link. Login will fail if the nickname is already in use, or
if the chatroom is full, or if the IP address is banned.
