Is this person for real, or was one of you guys playing a prank? I didn't know whether to laugh hysterically, or scream.riti20022000000000> how do i use the webcam function
riti20022000000000> can u help
@Benway> it`s all explained in the flashing green link in the menu on the left riti
@Benway> probably not what you`re expecting, but there it is
riti20022000000000> can u see me benway
@Benway> no
@Benway> if you click the green flashing link, it expains how things work here
riti20022000000000> i thought this was a free site ---benway
@Benway> it is
riti20022000000000> it says credit card no
@Benway> I don`t know where you`re looking, but that`s nothing to do with this site
riti20022000000000> i am at about the webcam in the main menu
@Benway> uh
@Benway> you can`t be
@Benway> there's absolutely nothing on that page about credit cards
@Benway> all I can think is you`ve gone to the camarades site, and have clicked a link to sign up for their elite service
@Benway> their basic service is totally free
riti20022000000000> yeah i did that
@Benway> see...
@Benway> that site isn`t directly connected to this site
@Benway> we use their free webcam software
riti20022000000000> how to have the basic one then
@Benway> assuming it still works the way it used to, you just go directly to the free software download
@Benway> I`m not certain you`ve understood how this place works though
riti20022000000000> no
@Benway> having and running the software doesn`t automatically give you access to the cams here, or get yours displayed here
@Benway> this place works a bit like a club. We give access to view the cams as soon as we're sure a person isn`t a perv of something. People`s cams dont get listed in the cams menu unless they`re regular visitors to the room
* @arryana watches Benway yell at the walls for emphasis
@Benway> the software that we use is free, and provided by camarades. They host the cams, which work independantly of this room, so you don`t have to be in here to use them
@Benway> I simply link to the cam pages of regular visitors
riti20022000000000> it doesnt say here
* @Benway sighs
@Benway> it says it on the first page you came to when you clicked the link
@Benway> if you`re looking at the camarades page, it won`t say that
* @Benway cuts and pastes some text....
@Benway> this is what`s on the first page you came to
@Benway> About The Webcams In This Room
@Benway> Viewing The Webcams
@Benway> Access to the webcams menu is restricted by password protection. If you are new, you will not be able to watch the cams in this room straight away.
@Benway> This has been done to discourage people from just lurking in the room, oggling the cams, and using up the bandwidth of people who are running webcams, while contributing nothing to the conversation. It also discourages the type of people who make inapropriate comments and suggestions to the female chatters here.
@Benway> ........
@Benway> Displaying Webcams
@Benway> The software we use is free, and provided by Camarades. It displays your webcam on a webpage hosted by Camarades, and works entirely independantly of this room, so if you'd like to try it out, please feel free to do so. Please be aware though that running the software doesn't automatically mean you are listed in the cams menu here, or that we can see you.
@Benway> and so on and so on
@Benway> now if that`s not clear enough, or you simply didn`t bother to read it, then I give up
riti20022000000000> one sec
riti20022000000000> i doesnt say cuts and paste
@Benway> oh good grief
@Benway> I just cut and pasted that text into the room
@arryana> haha
* @arryana makes a note of this to use as a script next time she uses an aol freebie account to wind Benway up.
@Benway> haha
riti20022000000000> what to do
@arryana> hit control, alt, and delete.
@arryana> or was it shift f4
riti20022000000000> delete what
* @Benway rolls his eyes
@arryana> everything you type before you hit return
@Benway> To be hinest, I`d suggest asking the person who turned your pc on for you. I fail to comprehend what it is you don`t understand. Everything`s been explained to you in perfectly clear english
@arryana> other than hinest
@Benway> well, yeah
@Benway> but I have to make sure you`re paying attention ;)
@arryana> of course
riti20022000000000> hye
riti20022000000000> i cant paste and cut
@Benway> you don`t need to
riti20022000000000> is it something to do with asian contries
riti20022000000000> may be thats why they charge
riti20022000000000> well
@Benway> I`ve no idea what you`re talking about
riti20022000000000> then what else to do
riti20022000000000> well i am doing what u are saying
@Benway> All I`ve said to do was read a particular page. You appear to have gone to that page, not read it, or at least... not understood it, and then clicked the first link you saw
@Benway> now if that`s too complex, well.... *shrugs*
riti20022000000000> what was the page again pls
@Benway> the green flashing link in the menu
@Benway> just read what`s on the page that opens up
@Benway> it explains how things are done here
@Benway> what it doesn`t do is give you instant access to view the cams, or display a cam here
@Benway> simply because there is no instant access. We don`t give that untill we`ve gotten to know a person
@Benway> and all of that is explained on that page
riti20022000000000> i did
riti20022000000000> but it says put in credit card to access
@Benway> argh
@Benway> it says no such thing on that page
riti20022000000000> not on this page
riti20022000000000> as i go ahead
riti20022000000000> i go to comrades now
@Benway> to get the free camarades software, there's a link in the centre of the page, where it says "Download your FREE copy here"
@Benway> not on the left, where it says "Camarades Elite Signup"
@Benway> but in the middle
riti20022000000000> hey itsdownloading
riti20022000000000> btw where u from
@Benway> I`m in the uk
riti20022000000000> whats ur nationality
@Benway> I`m english
riti20022000000000> ur age
@Benway> 33
@Benway> I hope you understand, after reading that page about the webcams, that just because you run that software, it doesn`t mean you will be automaticallt listed in this room. Your cam will be displayed in the camarades webcam community... but only regular visitors cams are listed here
riti20022000000000> oh i v
riti20022000000000> its downloaded
* @Benway nods
riti20022000000000> what
@Benway> hmm?
riti20022000000000> so i cant use the webcam
@Benway> you can use the webcam. It will display on the camarades webcam community on its own web page. Anyone who you give the url of that page to will be able to see it
@Benway> what won`t happen, is your cam being listed in this room straight away
riti20022000000000> it says start the webcam software
@Benway> ummm
@Benway> have you ever actually installed software before?
riti20022000000000> yeah
riti20022000000000> ?
@Benway> ok, just checking

Now, in all fairness to this person, english obviously wasn't their first language, but even so, YEASH!!!
