Most channels require registration for more information, see that tab. We make use of three primary channels here. This will show the current channel as well as the topic. The screenshot above shows what a channel will normally look like on joining, showing the topic, then a list of users.ġ0.) Channel Bar. This is where you type your messages, as well as commands like /register and /identify.ĩ.) Chat window. You can attach small files to share with the channels.Ĩ.) Input box. Users with the rank of + in #site17 are not staff, but are trusted non-staff users that can reliably give good information on basic questions.ħ.) File upload. In #site19 and #site17, all users with a rank except + are chat staff (or bots that assist in performing channel duties). Different channels use these ranks differently. They are ~ (owner), & (admin), (op), % (half-op), and + (voice). Some users have a prefix in front of them, they indicate a user's rank in the channel. Click this to pop out a new menu with the list of users in the channel. This has different options depending on your abilities in the channel, and a different set of options if you're on the SkipIRC window.Ħ.) User List. Click this for a time-ordered list of messages that included your nickname.ĥ.) Channel Options. This is specifically for help using the Lounge client.Ĥ.) Mentions List. Customize the experience, add notifications, lots of little things like that.ģ.) Help. The "SkipIRC" link is clickable and shows server information and important notices.Ģ.) Options. All channels and private messages will show up here, and there are options and the leave/quit button on the right-hand side. Go ahead and hit Connect, you'll see something like this:ġ.) Status Bar. If you have never registered a SkipIRC account (which is entirely separate from Wikidot accounts), you will be required to do so before you can join our main channel. On the "Click Here To Chat" tab, you'll see something that looks like this: You can also have private, 1-on-1 conversations with people, and even create your own channels to discuss whatever you'd like. For example, #football, #cats, and #techsupport would be topical channels people might congregate in. IRC (Internet Relay Chat) allows for discussions across multiple channels, which are prefixed with a #.
If none of that makes a bit of sense to you, please read these basics in their entirety before attempting to chat, because it probably will not work otherwise. Please proceed to the 'Rules and Guidelines' tab. If you're already a well-versed IRC user, then point the client of your choice to (Ports 6660-6669 are available, as well as 6697 for SSL with SASL enabled) and join us in #site19 (you will need to register and identify before joining).
