| - | ===== Chat ===== | + | ===== Forum Subscriptions ===== |
| - | LXLE uses the [[http://xmpp.org/ | XMPP protocol]] to provide chat room and IM support for users to utilize. | + | In addition to being notified of replies to your own posts. You can now subscribe to certain categories of the forum (receive e-mail notification when a new discussion is posted) and it auto-bookmarks newly created discussions so that you will receive an e-mail notification each time a new comment is added to a discussion. |
| - | Connecting to the LXLE chatroom and hanging out or asking questions can be done one of two ways. | + | You can change your subscription settings by visiting your profile |
| + | page and then choosing EMail subscription in the side panel. | ||
| - | The first way is the easiest. You can just use the chat button on the bottom right hand side of the LXLE website and forums pages. | + | This should make it easier for anyone to help others usings LXLE without visiting the forums and or checking all the time. This just shoots you an email, and if you can answer and have time, great. |

| - | The second way is more convenient in many ways, particularly if you already have an XMPP account, like GoogleTalk/Google+. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | If not you can signup for a XMPP account through many services, we suggest [[https://dukgo.com/blog/using-pidgin-with-xmpp-jabber | DuckDuckGo's XMPP service]] and [[http://pidgin.im/ | Pidgin IM]]. | + | |
