Babblebar is a plugin that allows you to comment on a webpage and chat with anyone else on that same page.
When you open the browser, babblebar will be closed. Look at your toolbar at the top of the screen, you should see a button with the words "Open Babblebar," click on it to start.
Clicking on that button should open the plugin on the right side of your screen. Below the header is the comments area, where you can see everything that has been posted on this page.
If you click on a username in the comments area, this will bring up the options for that post. You may report offensive posts or spam, and our moderators will be alerted. You can also invite this user to chat privately, or take a look at their profile.
Below the comments area there is another field. If you are not logged in, it will allow you to enter your username and password. If you do not have a username and password: go
here to sign up. You may still browse and read comments without logging in, but you will not be able to contribute.
If you are logged in, you will instead see a text field where you can enter new comments. To log out, go to the options menu at the top of the plugin.
Click on the "Jump to an active conversation" button to jump to a page where people have been recently chatting. Click at your own risk, though; babblebar cannot control what types of pages people have been chatting on.
