How to ban the unwelcomed user from my chat room?

All you need to do is to click the user's name and then click the "Kick out" button. Please use this function carefully because nobody likes being kicked out. You can also set "Forbidden IP" and "password" to protect your chat room.

What is 'Forbidden IP'?

You can kick the unwelcomed person out of your chat room. But if this person logs into your chat room time after time, what can you do then?
You can find this person's name and IP from the main window. For example, Mike is the unwelcomed person,

Mike's IP address is "169.254.117.157".
Then please click "Forbidden IP" button on the toolbar. Type "169.254.117.157" in the IP field, then click "Add this IP" button. Exit this window. Then Mike's IP address is forbidden and he can not connect to your chat room nor enter it.

If one user exited the chat room without clicking the 'Exit' button, how could I know it and remove the user's name from the namelist?

Chat Anywhere checks all connections every 5 seconds. If someone exits the chat room by closing the browser or by a computer crash, the chat room server will detect it and automatically remove the user's name from the namelist after 5 seconds.

Is there a version for UNIX?

Sorry but Chat Anywhere can only run on Windows at present.
