Active Chatroom (middle) - This shows the active chatroom messages. Recruiters will see buttons at the top to download visitors and messages.

They can type a message at the bottom and either click the submit button or just hit the enter button on their keyboard to post a message in the chatroom. Recruiters can delete messages within their school's chatroom by hovering over the name associated with that message and clicking the "x" next to their name.
