As this is your first time, you will have to connect manually (mIRC will automatically connect every other time you use it now)

This window is useless to you, so make sure that the bottom checkbox is unticked and press Okay.

You are now in the chatroom

You can now talk to people by typing in the bottom box, and the list on the right hand side shows the users connected.

Those with an @ infront of their names are called 'Operators' who are like Forum Moderators
Those with a + infront of their name are called 'voiced', and they are registered common members.

Register your name and other commands

All commands in IRC start with the character /.

For example the action command is /me followed by your text.

To register your name you need to type the following:
/ns register followed by your password and your email (an example is shown in the previous image). This will send a validation email to you, with a command you need to copy and paste into mIRC.

Once you are registered you must click on Tools from the menu bar, followed by options.

This will bring up the first screen, on which you must click on Options in the left hand list.

Click back on the perform tab and above the entry for join #tnp add the following:

ns identify yourpassword where yourpassword is the password that you registered your nickname with.

This will automatically log you in when you open mIRC.

Happy Chatting!

Something just happened that I cannot remember in the past six months. I joined in the #tnp channel and there was no one around! If a person joins an irc channel and there is no one to chat with, is it still a chat room? Deep questions... :ermm:

My point?

Someone get on IRC!
 
It's not that no one was their...its that the IRC Server did a net Split (I believe thats what its called). Don't ask me why it happens...it just does. It usually doesn't last for too long...u can wait a few minutes or choose another server on your log in menu (best to leave it on Esper Random Server...it will choose a new one for u). You should be able to see your friends again immediatly!!
