I registered the room #Lallygabbers and have it set to modes +ntps. This is basically what you need to know to chat, but we'd advise you to read the rest of this page, because it has a lot of info that will make your life easier with mIRC :-) You type your message in the long horizontal box at the bottom, then hit enter.

Add the room name (usually #Lallygabbers) (directions below), or select your room name from the channels folder if you've added it before, and off you go!Ī new window will pop up called '#Lallygabbers' This is the chat window. You'll get a bunch of stuff scrolling across your mIRC status window, a window called 'mIRC Channels Folder' will pop up. Now click on the 'Connect to IRC server!' button. Once you've chosen your new server, the window will look like this:

Pick a server closest to you, but don't worry if it's 1/2 way across the country. Click on the the pull down menu (the arrow to the right in the window where TalkCity is above) then scroll up to the EFnet choices. What you need to do is change the default server to a specific EFnet server. Put anything you want in the 'Alternative' box. It makes it easier for others to know who they're talking to when chats get to crowded. Fill the boxes with full name and email (if you don't want to use your full name, just put your LOL handle there.) For your nickname, we'd advise you to use the same name you use on LOL. You will see this screen:ĭeselect the box on the bottom left corner, if you don't want to see this screen again, and proceed with the setup by closing this window. Once you’ve downloaded the file, double click it, and it installs itself.
