Using There: Menu Bar
 
The menu bar at the bottom of the There window gives you quick access to most of There's commands and features. Explore and experiment!

There -- From here, launch There Central or a new browser, access your member profile, or log out when it's time to leave. You can also customize your settings:

  • Toolbars and Tips -- Access special-purpose toolbars, including shortcuts to common features, or turn in-world help tips on and off. Choose "Default to Action Mode" to hide all toolbars and menus. Action Mode is also great for racing and doing tricks on your HoverBoard!
  • Chat -- Customize your chat text color and configure various chat options.
  • World -- Turn heads-up displays on or off, change audio volume, access Cruise Control, or choose to launch browsers outside the There client.
  • Messages -- Turn various system messages on or off here.
People -- Make a connection! Find clubs and other members, get in touch with your buddies through the Communicator, IM, Forums, or e-mail, and pull up the Action Bar for quick access to fun emotions and gestures.

Activities -- Looking for something to do? Click Happening Now for a detailed list of all the events going on now and in the near future. Search for a particular activity, access your personal schedule and events, or create a new event. Click List Activity to plant a flag for an impromptu gathering, anywhere in There.

Places -- There is a big place. Access the map here or search for a location. If you have the Explorer Pack, you can bring up the Compass from this menu, as well as save favorite places. Any Houses or Zones you're renting also appear here.

This Place -- This menu becomes active whenever you're inside a House or Zone. Find info about the House or Zone you're visiting here. If you're the owner/renter, you'll find a number of additional options in this menu: create a racecourse in your FunZone, decorate your House, or schedule an event.

Shop -- Visit Shop Central and Auctions from this menu. You can also view and manage your Therebucks balance.

My Things -- Access and organize your belongings here. ChangeMe is your portable wardrobe, letting you change your avatar's appearance and clothing. You can organize all your items (as well as Buddies and Favorite Places) with the Organizer.

Views -- Change your outlook on things! You can choose a first-person view here, access multiple aerial views, or see your avatar full-body or in close-up.

Get Help -- Got a question or problem? Access our web-based help system, review the Visitor's Guide, or contact a There Helper through instant message.

Windows -- Minimized browsers inside the There client appear in this menu. Click to see a list of all your minimized windows, and select and click any window to maximize it. This menu is grayed out if you have no minimized windows inside the There client.

Availability -- Select an icon to indicate your availability.

  • Available -- You're open to all communication.
  • Away -- People who try to contact you will get an "away" message.
  • Do Not Disturb -- Pure privacy! No one will be able to send you messages.
  • Buddies Only -- People on your buddy list can contact you, others will get a "this person is not available" message.
