Chat Room

[loren]

Well im now aware the Ice Chat is not right chat room service to use i tried to use other source of chat it wont let me and the Java keeps locking up on me on my computer dont know why i suppose i may not be able to join in the chat room any more will have to find i new group to hang out with in the TG world.  Dont get me wrong you all were very accepting and i was very happy in susans thank you all for your time.

[Sarah Louise]

Loren, please give it a day or two, I am sure the mIRC site will be back up and you can get it.

Also, if you contact your current program site, I am sure they will show you how to stop the script program that is running every 5 minutes.  I remember someone else using it talking about turning off that "afk" script.

Well i just dont want to be banned over some chatting software that must be bad software or some thing i just dont want to get banned thats all.

[LynnER]

If it bans you for no good reason, let us know here, and we'll fix it.  Have you considered chatzilla it worked pretty well for me.

[loren]

If your able to get a website i would be glad to try it i unistalled this ICE CHAT from my computer so i wouldnt do any harm to the chat room

I'm currently using KVIrc without issue.
Never had any problem with my standalone IRC programs and the chat.

[confused]

hi loren , well most irc servers use similar banning polecy so i suppose fixing whatever causing trouble in your pc would be more effective ,besides your gonna be missed am sure. i have a feeling though that there might be some sort of virus or trojans on your pc

also Xchat is a good irc client , i used a bunch and this one is the best imho
here's adownload link for windows
and this is the website itself

although the windows version requires you to register in 30 days (much like any other windows irc client)

A program that is open source and can be used on Linux systems and Windows is called Pidgin.

Kind regards

I didn't realize that X-chat had a windows version, Thats what I'm using now, Its awesome and easy to handle.

[loren]

i will purchase xchat then if that what i need because after installing it i said i had to pay 20 dollars to regester it so i can use it

[LynnER]

You should only have to pay that after the 30 day free trial.

Or you can switch to a linux OS and its completely free

I must be windows dumb then i tried to use the java chat on website it wont even load now im using windows vista and when i search online for websites to download the software it gives me a bunch of prices i didnt know i had to purchase all of this software in order to access this chat i didnt rember it being this difficult to chat when i had started. I really do appriticate every ones paitence with me as i try to understand what IRC or any of it is and im trying to understand why my JAVA isnt working hmm. i have three virus scanning programs dont think i have virus but trying to work it out. Computer runs really fast other than the fact i just cant use any programs that you have posted so far i will call my computer person and have him to fix it for me probly.

I don
t know if I am being dumb but I use mIRC.  I just run past the evaluation date and get using it.

I got it at http://www.mirc.co.uk/

Not KVIrc, is open source and freeeee

[Sarah B]

Seriously why pay for the software, there are free and open sources programs that will do the required job extremely well.  They may not be flashy or have all the bells and whistles, but they work no the less.

Three virus scanners running at the same time will more than likely cause conflicts because each program will install a program that continuously runs in the background and hence cause conflicts.

One firewall (software) and one virus scanner is more than sufficient to protect your computer from the vagries of the Internet and yes, there are firewall and virus scanners programs that are free to use.

I hope this helps in someway.

Kind regards
