iChat Information Pages
Version 3
These iChat 3 pages are coloured Orange and have the iChat 3 icon on them that was in use at the time, so you know where you are. The icon differs from Version 1 by having the camera logo added and from iChat 2 by having the Running Man removed.
These pages have sat here since 2008 with no update. In that time the AIM servers have been closed down (2017) and iChat has been superseded by Messages. That effectively make this a sort of Historical Document of how it worked.
iChat Version 3 Pictures
Not only do these pages contain pictures of various parts of iChat but individual pages also have yet more information about the picture as well. In some cases there are extra pictures about where certain button and actions lead.

iChat 3 In Pictures |
Each of these Pictures is actually a Folder of the relevant Pictures for each section. I am not repeating the Modem and Router folders here.
 1 iChat Start Up Screens See main Set. |
 2 iChat Menus |
 3 iChat Prefs |
 4 Add Buddies |
 5 Connection Doctor |
 6 Status Messages |
 7 Firewall/Ports |
All but one Picture is actually a Folder of the relevant Pictures for each section.
Most of the Info shown in the Main Set of Pictures is transferable to any iChat version. These here tend to look at the specific differences. In this case there is no difference in the Start Up Screens as they are iChat 3 ones in the main iChat Pictures folder.
The first stop would be The Start Up Screens

Information Block
This site is about iChat from Version 1 through to iChat 5.x.x
Mostly this is kept as an Historical Document. Some small tense changes have been made but the content is by and large untouched.
It has a mixture of basic info and problem solving help.
The sections below will change for Specifics about info on the page on view
About This Page
The iChat 3 Index of Indexes regarding the differences in some pictures. I mean that this Index links to other Indexes of the areas concerned.
Compatibility
As mentioned above this has had a major Edit/Update in September 2024 moving towards beinig fully HTML 5 compliant meaning that the Browsers listed below are likely to no longer work.
I have tested in Safari 18.1, Firefox 130.x and 131.0, Vivaldi 6.9.3447.48 and iCab 6.2.3 (All Mac Browsers) I don't have access to a PC let alone multiple browsers to test on.
The original pages worked with Win/IE 5.5 and later (should work in 5.0, but not confirmed), Firefox 2, Safari 3, Opera 9, iCab 3.02 and later, Mac/IE 5, Netscape 6 and later
Old browsers (IE version 4 or earlier, Netscape 4 or earlier) should/may only see a text-based page which, while not the prettiest option, is still entirely usable.
CSS is based on Comic from Ruthsarian Layouts.
