Each ParaChat room (also known as a "channel") that you create on your ParaChat Server has its own room profile that contains the configuration information for the chat room. Room profiles are located in the "rooms" directory (...\ParaChat\ParaChat570\rooms\#roomname.profile) of your ParaChat Server. A room profile is automatically created in the "rooms" directory when you create new ParaChat rooms. All chat room names begin with a pound sign (#). For example, a chat room called "JustTalk" is defined by the parameters in the file '#JustTalk.profile'. In some cases, data is automatically written to the room profile from the administrator's console (i.e. topic, moderation features, room password, etc.) and there is no requirement that you edit the room profile to implement these features. Chat room attributes are simply stored in their corresponding room profile. Below is a listing of important room configuration parameters, and their function.

Room profile files are simple text files that can be edited using a text editor. Please note that any change to a room profile requires that the information cached in the chat server be cleared before the changes take effect. To "reread" the most current room profile configuration, simply log into the chat room that you edited using your admin name and password, and then type the following command: /room reread
