The ComPanel provides you with multiple abilities. If you haven't clicked that link above, do it now
and read through this explanation:
At the very top of the comm panel you will see your name (Item #1) when you are
logged in. By clicking here, you can open your homepage at any time.
Below your name you are given three options, the first (Item #2) is a logout link
(although most people prefer to use the link provided on any of the main pages).
The next (Item #3) is a link that will allow you to turn off your grams. Once you click it
the link will change to read "Grams On". Click it again to turn your grams back on.
Having your grams off means others will not be able to send a gram to you while you
have this option enabled. It's a convenient way to work undisturbed if you're busy and
need some quiet time. Just remember to turn them back on when you're ready to
receive messages.
The last item (Item #4) is a link to your home. Clicking this, like clicking your name
above it, will open your AW homepage.
Below this group of links you will find an announcement box (Item #5) used to provided
information about things such as fun activities that are occurring around the site.
Immediately below the announcement box is a list, organized according to
membership level (Item #6), of all the site members (Item #7) who are currently logged
in.
To gram anyone online, click the word "gram" at the left side of their name (Item #8). If there is no
gram link next to the person's name (Item #9) it means the member has turned their grams off
temporarily.
