By going directly to our sites
chatroom page
you will be able to enter our room using the java chat application. This
is a very easy way to join us if you are not familiar with IRC or IRC programs
such as mIRC. Many very experienced IRC users enjoy our java
chat entrance because of the ease it provides.
Just let the page fully load and then click the "Load Chat Client" button.
Do not do anything else until you see it has opened the chatroom on
your screeen. You do not need to fill in the
nickname, email address screen that appears before the room loads. It
is best to let it load with the information that is there, and then you can
enter your nick when you see you are in the room. You will enter the
room as a "Guest" by default. The very first thing you want to type
and enter into the room is the nickname you want to become known by. It's
important you do this immediately upon entering the room as we do not allow
anyone to sit idle within our room or unidentified. So, enter a nickname
into the room, and then join the chat. To register your nickname and
understand the purpose of doing so, read below. Should you have any
trouble getting into our room, please email us at healingroom@email.com and
we will try to assist you in resolving whatever the problem is.
How to get
to our chatroom using mIRC
Right Click Here
and select "Save Target As" to download and install an IRC Chat program called mIRC.
After installing mIRC on your computer, open it up.
First you will see a small window with a picture of a man (the
author of mIRC) which says "About mIRC
", in upper left corner.
Remove the check from the lower left-hand corner of this window
and click the X in the upper right corner and you won't get this window from
now on.
Now you will get the mIRC Options window. It's a medium size
window that says "mIRC Options" in the upper
left corner.
Fill in the lower part of that window where it says Name: (mine
has `John`) in it. Email address: (mine has meme@meme.com in it) Nickname:
(mine has `John` in it) Alt. Nickname: (mine has Johnboy`) in it.
In short, provide only the real information about yourself that you want
others to know, but fill it all out.
Now, at the top, just below where it says "IRC Servers:
All", It should say "Random US DALnet server
" in the white area above the "Connect to IRC Server" button. Using
the little arrow to the left, select "Random US Webnet"
or another "Webnet" server from the list of servers. Since the servers
are listed alphabetically you have to scroll towards the bottom of the list
to select a "W"ebnet server.
Now click the "Connect to IRC Server"
button. As mIRC connects to the server you will see some text scrolling
in your mIRC window. After it is connected a window called "mIRC Channels
Folder" will appear on your screen. Remove the check in the box at the
bottom of this window where it says, "Pop up Folder on Connect", now click
the "ADD" button at the top to the right. Where it says channel: type
#healingroom, Description: Survivors Support Group. No password is
needed. At the bottom of that small window put a check where it says'
"Auto-join channel on connect". Now click the "OK" button. Then you
simply click the "Join" bottom, and you are brought into our room.
After doing the above as described, you will only have to open
mIRC, and click the "Connect to IRC Server" button to be brought into our
room automatically from now on.
Nickname Registration
Registering your nickname is recommended to anyone
who wants to be a regular and frequent visitor to our room. The purpose
of doing so is that no one else on the IRC server our room is on can use
or register the nickname you select for yourself. Should they do this
it is not available to you. By registering it, it becomes your
nickname and should anyone else try to use it that doesn't have the password
that you assign to it they will be turned back into a "Guest" within one
minute and the nick is available to you, its rightful registered owner.
How do I register my nickname?
Once in the room with a nickname you are happy with and that isn't registered
to someone else, you just type;
/nickserv register <password> <email address>
example; /nickserv register apples meme@meme.com
And send it into the rooms window. No one in the room will see this
information. Its just your way of sending it to the server.
Note; You don't have to include the nickname in the
line above. In this example I'm using "apples" as my password and meme@meme.com
as my email address. You have to type it out exactly as it is above
using the / in front of the word nickserv. Note that nickserv does
not have a "e" on the end of it. Do not use the < > signs. I
only place them there to emphesis.
After registering your nickname, you will be asked for your password each
time you try to use it. On mIRC you can put your password in the auto
perform option by typing /nickserv identify <password> in the Perform
part of the Options menu. In the java chat, as soon as you enter your
registered nick into the room, you should get a little box popup that you
type your password into. If you don't get the little box you have to
type /nickserv identify <password> putting in the password you
used when you registered your nick. Be sure to use a Password
you will remember! There is no way to retrieve it should you forget
it!
