yup
what exactly do i put in the 'irc server' blank... if i just try and copy/paste whats up above, it shortens itself to /server....
i think thats the problem....
If this is confusing you, in the options thingie, in category "connect", fill in a false name, a flase email (smt@ should be sufficient), and your nickanme. on the server thing above that, choose "irc network -> all" and then push "add". there you just need to fill in:
Description: UM
Server: irc.mahke.net
Ports: 6667
If you have any more questions i'm here for a while more.
@frog: possibly, but i'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree here, since the server the guys were referring to is ultimatemetal's, and this is just one of the hosted boards.
however, in case it ever comes to us trying to get a room of our own, we'll take your suggestions into consideration.
