Some IM Tips

Want to throw in some Emoticons? Click on the Emoticon button and make your selection or do it the old-fashioned way with short keys.

You can also change the font size from regular to large or back again.

Lastly, when you’re done, remember to press the X in the upper right corner to close your session.

BUILDING YOUR IM-me COMMUNITY

The best thing about IM-me is that it’s YOUR community and YOU get to choose who’s invited!

Here’s how to build your IM-me friends list.

Ask Your Friends

Do any of your friends have IM-me? How about their friends? Would you like to talk to them? You can have up to 15 friends stored in your friends list at any time but remember, they have to have YOU listed as well before you can start IM’ing.

Invites

Don’t know anyone with an IM-me then spread the word! Press “Go to Girl tech website” icon navigate to the “Invites” and print them out for your friends and tell them to down load the PC program and create a trial user screen name.

Register Trial Users

Once your friends have their own IM-me, they can officially register with their new registration code. Instead of having to create a new screen name, they press the Register Trial Users button. Then, they enter in their new code, old screen name and old password and they’re ready to go!

TROUBLESHOOTING

For most problems, we suggest checking the following options first:

•Check to make sure the PC program is running (the flower is on in the taskbar).

•Check to make sure you are connected to the internet (the flower is green).

The IM-me Flower in the task bar is RED

Option 1: Close IM-me by choosing Exit under the file menu, then re-starting it.

Option 2: Restart your PC

Option 3: Check your firewall software. Some firewall settings can prevent IM-me from connecting to the internet.
