[How-To] Use mIRC to Access YorkieTalk Chat - Guide - YorkieTalk.com Forums

admin · 06-07-2005, 03:31 PM

For those with problems using the Java chat, here is an alternative method to access YorkieTalk chat.

First, get mIRC from http://www.mIRC.com and download it to your own computer. mIRC is a PC-only program, there is a similar program called Snak for Macs. It is a free program!

Okay, install the program and then run it. It should pop up a Options Window. Here's what you can put in:

Full name, just put in your your YorkieTalk username
Email address: anything works, no one can see your email address

Nickname: put in your YorkieTalk username (maximum of nine characters)
Alternative: put in an alternative username (like user2) (maximum of nine characters)
Check the Invisible Mode box

Now click OK.

Now you are in the Status window. Type in '/server irc.efnet.org' without the '

It will pop up a mIRC Favorites box. Type in #yorkietalk and click the Join button

(Alternatively, if that server does not work, you can try '/server irc.prison.net' or '/server irc.qeast.net' to get onto the YorkieTalk chat network).

Voila, you are now in Chat! And you can still browse YorkieTalk at the same time! When you see a Web link posted in chat, just double-click the link, and it will open in your Internet browser. Enjoy!

Remember that there are times in YorkieTalk chat where no one may be talking. Please wait a few minutes, or come back at another time when there may be some people actively chatting.

Please let us know if you have any questions or where anything doesn't make sense. Enjoy the chat!

OK, I am in yorkietalk through the mIRC, but when I click on chat on the menu bar, I still can't get in! I am very frustrated, and downloaded the mIRC program three times! I feel that the problem is still with the server, what did I do wrong??

lilliput · 06-09-2005, 11:29 AM

Also, when I check server, it is "server irc blessed net" like you said in the instructions...now I am in chat but all by myself? how confusing??

lilliput · 06-09-2005, 11:34 AM

one more thing, it also says that I need to install ident with this server. what do I do now?

fasteddie · 06-09-2005, 12:32 PM

Try a different server, such as /server irc.prison.net or /server irc.qeast.net

After you get the login message, type in /join #yorkietalk if no popup window shows up. Usually ident is not necessary. Good luck!
