Welcome to the wonderful world of IRC. You are now embarking on a new and exciting world! So hold on and here we GO!
The information you will need to join from any client.
Server: irc.freenode.net
Channel: #mac-forums
Don't worry if you don't understand that up there! Those that do understand it.. cool now join up!
Java IRC Start (not working):
Mac-Forums IRC java. Click there join up, then come back here and think about getting colloguy!
Application Start:
Download: Colloguy, I suggest the Stable build.
Colloguy is the client many of your favorite Mac-Forum members use.
**Feel free to post your questions after the end of this service announcement**
Well now you are wondering, how the heck does this thinga-ma-dealie work? Well, I will tell you!
1• First open the program! This will facilitate the use of the program.
2• You will be presented a screen called "connections"
3• You shouldn't need to look into preferences until you are an advanced user. Or have time to play around.
4• Hit "Open Apple" (command) + N, or go to file > New Connection!
5• Type in for Nickname: Your Mac-Forums.com User ID. So we know who you are, we wouldn't want to mix you up and ban the wrong person. :biohazard (well I would)
6• Leave Server Protocol the default.
7• Change the Chat Server to: irc.freenode.net (should be the first in the drop down menu, else get searching!)
8• Check "remember this connection"
9• Click Connect!
10• You will be taken back to "connections"
11• Click on your new connected client. (probably first on list)
12• Press the button at the top of Connections called "Join room"
13• Type "#Mac-forums" (or even Mac-forums)
14• You are now in the Mac-Forums room (may take a second to load up and don't be surprised if a window pops up with people in it!)
15• To 'register' or 'identify' yourself, type "/IDENTIFY #mac-forums apassword
16• If you join us frequently enough we will give you voice! (you'll be blue!)
You say: Well GeeWhizz! that wasn't that hard at all! I am sure glad I read that, I will now join up and check out whats happening live!
