Hi!
Does anyone know how to enter the "finger" comments in the chess.net server? I am using the Winboard interface. Thanks.

Hi!

This is what they list in their commands list:
/finger - Show info on users.
so
/finger playername
but that gives you info on another player.
To just talk to the room you're in, you'd probably want to use /shout, what they list is:
/shout - Shout to your room.
Don't forget the forward slash!
To be honest, I don't use Winboard at Chessnet. At Chessnet, I use Cclient. See this page for info about interfaces: http://members.aol.com/jogates/chess.htm
There's several things I do rely on Winboard for, but for playing at Chessnet, I prefer Cclient, but no matter what you use, it takes some getting used to. If I used Winboard, I'd have to learn all those commands better. I probably know them well enough that I could switch to using Winboard for that now, maybe I'll try.

Thanks Pete for your time! But actually I was asking how to add comments (not commands) in my personal details when other players finger me.
I guess chess.net server call it "Notes". Anyway, I have already found out the answer!
Thnx.
