Ok so I know that if you type "/me" what happens in the chat box. I use that effectively.
Are there other commands which I don't know about? For some reason, I feel like I'm not taking full advantage of my chatting abilities.
/me feels stupid even asking.

Type /0 to chat without the 'typing hands' animation.

Ok, knew that one. So, maybe I'm not doing so bad.
I guess there aren't any others as far as implying what your av is doing tho, right? Other than gestures, which I find clunky at best. I do have the Mystitool, which I use for emoting occassionally.
No way to say "I" instead of "Elora Lunasea" for instance?

I think I got it at Dark Desires for free Thanks Brenda, I'll check that out next time I'm inworld. I think that's what I 'm looking for. I've seen others not have their name when they chat, and was wondering how they accomplished it.

Note that the text will be colored as coming from an object rather than as from an avatar.

Wouldn't bother me either, I'd be using it mostly for private IM.

Not a bother at all -- I find it helpful to know when chat is from an object! It's also a different color depending on whether it chats normally vs. using scripted instant message (which isn't quite the same as instant message from another av).

Well, sometimes when I'm chatting I'm a sex object. Does that count?

The only other trick I know of that's built-in to the viewer is using // to chat on the most recent channel... like if you said /8 something, you could type //something instead of /8 something the second time
Other than that...
