FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions:

1. My messages seem wrecked (words in the wrong place, bits of "code" sticking here and there, duplicates)!
   This can happen if the eChat didn't load properly. You can either refresh your page or press the [Sync ↻] button to fix the display issue.
   
2. The eChat says "network timed out" or something similar!
   This is means the server is down, and nothing will work. If you refresh this FAQ it will be gone. This should fix itself within an hour.
   
3. How do I get a coloured name?
   Coloured names are for donors! Donate $1 and provide a HTML colour code to have a coloured name (HTML colours may be refused; if someone else uses that already you may need to use something else).
   
4. What is the PNote?
   The PNote, or POWER! Note 2000, is a note taking system which allows you to write notes on your phone and view/edit them from your laptop, or from any other device with internet and a browser. All data is stored on the internet, meaning you don't need to worry about storage, and the data is also encrypted, so if somehow anyone got the file, they won't see anything meaningful.
   
5. How do I "ping"/mention people?
   You "ping"/mention people by typing "@" then their username (case sensitive). The result should be something like "@Administrator". You can also mention everyone by putting "everyone" instead of a single username ("@everyone").
   NOTE: You can mention as many people as you want, but some people may not like the spam notifications.
   
6. What does [Swap layout] do?
   [Swap layout] changes the layout from the current layout to the opposite. There are 2 layouts: desktop and mobile.
7. After I press certain things, (e.g. the login "pop out to new window" checkbox), nothing happens??
   This can happen if you have disabled pop up windows/tabs. Open your browser's site settings for power.lightofdawn.org, then enable pop ups.
8. I'm getting mentioned but there's no sound??
   This can happen if you have blocked autoplay audio. Open your browser's site settings for this site, then enable audio autoplay.
9. How do I contact the developer(s)/administrator(s)?
   If you need to contact me for a coloured name or asking questions, email me at abudi7[at]eq.edu.au (replace [at] with @).
10. Do you have an app for mobile devices?
    Due to current limitations including the amount of free time I have and such, there will likely be no applications for mobile in early future, if ever. With Apple devices, the chances are even less. However, you can pin a browser tab to your home screen (Safari [iOS], Firefox/Chrome[Android]).
11. Who is Mr. Bot?
    Mr Bot. gives automated responses if you type certain commands. It is not an actual person, nor is it an actual account.
12. How to toggle 'disguise mode?'
    To toggle disguise mode use CTRL + E, CTRL + G or CTRL + P for eLearn, Google or Education Perfect disguises, respectively.
13. WEIRD GLITCH MAKES MY MESSAGE POP UP 20 TIMES THEN DISAPPEAR!
14. WEIRD GLITCH MAKES MY MESSAGE POP UP 20 TIMES THEN DISAPPEAR!
15. WEIRD GLITCH MAKES MY MESSAGE POP UP 20 TIMES THEN DISAPPEAR!
    This happens because of a syncing lag; the most likely cause is slow internet. Nothing crucial is broken. There is no need for concern.
