jChatBox users login as guest users. It means they only need a nickname to join a chatroom. Then they could broadcast their messages or send private messages.
Note for jChatBox administrator : If you need to protect (login/password) chatrooms then you have to plug DBAuth or LDAPAuth add-on.

All users need to fill in nickname form AND select a chatroom to join it. Depending on client or skin, it could be done in different ways :

[HTML/CSS/JavaScript] - mIRC skin :
First, user selects a chatroom in the list. Information (name, subject, users) about the selected chatroom will be automatically updated.
Then he fills in a nickname before following "Enter" link. Login will fail if the nickname is already in use, or if the chatroom is full, or if the IP address is banned.

The chatroom lists joined users (see bottom-right table above). Private messages could be sent (if allowed by SYSTEM user) by clicking on user name. For HTML/JavaScript skins, a new window should pop-up. Messages from this window will be sent to the selected user only. They should be displayed in red color in chatroom's content.
For Applet skins, private mode is enabled by clicking on username and disabled by clicking on users label (e.g. "> ALL USERS").
