This little guide will explain how to connect to the PokerStrategy live chat room using chatzilla or mIRC. These are just examples; you can use any other IRC client too.

ChatZilla

ChatZilla is a Mozilla Firefox extension. It is free and compatible with all Firefox versions.

Step 1. Installation

Go to the download page and simply click the "add to firefox" button, then follow the instructions provided.

Step 2. Connection

You can find ChatZilla in Firefox under "Tools" -> "ChatZilla".
From there you will be able to connect to the quakenet server as shown in the following screenshot. Alternatively, you can type (without quotes) "/attach quakenet"

Once that's done, type (without quotes) "/join #pokerstrategy-en" to join the channel

mIRC
(by Ihufa)

mIRC is a shareware stand-alone client, use it if you don't want to have to open firefox to use IRC

Step 1:

Download mIRC from mirc homepage
Installing mIRC should be self-explanatory.
Should you need help there is a guide at http://mirc.com/install.html.

Step 2:

After installing you need to fill in some info.
If you run mIRC for the first time a window will popup:

1) Fill in a "full name" and "email address", and you need a nickname (alternative is used, when your primary is occupied by someone else).

2) Select Quakenet from the Server menu.

3) Go to the options menu and set them like this:

4) Click the perform button

5) Set the settings like this:

Now you're all buckled up to chat with the rest of us about how much villains suck out. Just hit the little lightning icon to connect (or reconnect if you're already connected, and you should automatically join the channel.

//if this window doesn't pop up, simply enter, without quotes, "/join #pokerstrategy-en" in the chatbox, it will also take you to the channel

Also you can download mIRC with NoName Script (that gives a lot cool functions to mirc).

You can download mIRC (6.31 if you like to have NNScript too) here:

http://nnscript.esnation.com/index.php?section=download

If you don't want to have NNScript then you can find the latest mirc here (6.32):

http://mirc.com/get.html

mIRC is almost freeware program (if you haven't payd for it then you'll get 10 second delay before loging in).

Also here is mIRC and NoNameScript walkthrough (in Estonian) but I think you should get the big picture:

I don't think there's any extension for that, but anyway it's better to use a stand-alone program imo... try mIRC (see timukasr's post)

SoyCD you have been inactive from the channel for 60 days so we lost Q. I am in the process of readding it and will be happy to give you ownership if your ever back on IRC.

Type this into the chat bar

/server irc.quakenet.org -j #pokerstrategy-en

copy and paste the reply you get. Do you know whether you are having troubles connecting to quakenet or having trouble connecting to the channel?

if it continues to tell you to register type

/msg Q hello email@email.com email@email.com

yes right your email twice and then go to the email you registered and click the link then get the line that says

/msg Q@CServe.quakenet.org AUTH username password

and copy yours into irc.
