You can set your Chat Availability and turn Chat Alerts on or off in the My Availability section of My Account.
| "Available - Chat Alerts On" |
Use this setting when you are available to chat and want to receive Chat Alerts. Your Chat Card will display "online" when you're actively on the site and available for Chats. Chat Alerts are only sent to your phone via SMS if you haven't been active on your NiteFlirt account for 30 minutes or more. This is so that you're not bothered with text alerts when you’re active on the site — it would be annoying since you’re already there! Text alerts should stop about a minute after you reply to a message, either via our mobile site on your phone or the desktop site. |
| "Available - Chat Alerts Off" | Use this setting when you are available to chat and do not want to receive Chat Alerts. Your Chat Card will display "online" when you're actively on the site and available for Chats. |
| "Not Available for Chat" |
Use this setting when you're not available to chat. When you're not available, customers who send you chat messages will be notified that you may not get back to them right away. But do try to get back to them within 12 hours so that you can earn a volley! Your Chat Card will display "offline" when you're not available for Chats even when you're actively on the site. |
If you elect to receive Chat Alerts but don't want to be bothered during certain time periods (like when you're sleeping, for example), use the radio buttons to observe quiet hours. Click "Edit quiet hours" to set them! With quite hours enabled, your Chat Card will display "offline" during quiet hours even when your Chat Status is set to "Available" and you're actively on the site.
