Bon Bon Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yes it a really simple question to most of you so please answer it. All I need is explanations on how to use the IRC because for me it's very complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterof9puppets Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well, which part are you having trouble with? If you are a new user, it will probably be easiest to just use the Chatzilla addon to Firefox. Once installed, open it in the Tools menu, and start off with typing- /server irc.coldfront.net It will then connect you to the server. Next, you pick your IRC name (Actually you probably pick that name in the Chatzilla setup, I forget) To choose your nickname- /nick Bon_Bon Lastly, you will need to join your alliances channel. /join #NPO (Is that NPO's channel? I've never bothered to join) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvenStar Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 NPO's IRC chan is #NSA i believe. Some alliances set up forum links for access via Java to IRC. Ask someone in your alliance or check your forum to see if you have one. They can be helpful in getting you online in the short term. Long term however you are better downloading one of the many programmes, for example chatzilla, xchat, trillian (the list can go on and everyone has their own favourite).

Justitia Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Make sure you type this in the chanserv window and not in a channel or query while using the nick you wish to register. /msg nickserv register <your password here> <your email address here> For example: /msg nickserv register fictionalpassword fictionalemail@whatevermail.com Then every time you log into IRC, you can identify yourself typing: /msg nickserv identify password So in the example above this would be: /msg nickserv identify fictionalpassword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Sponge Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 To add on to what Justy said, you can shorten "/msg nickserv" to just "/ns". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justitia Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I almost forgot about that, it's been ages since I've been on IRC :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderland Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Also to add onto it, you will get an email from coldfront (or whatever server you happen to be using) that gives you an authentication message, which you will need to use before being able to identify.

thedestro Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 When I didn't know what to do at anything on IRC, I just bugged the guys at #irchelp. They were helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
