New Live Chat Available

[Warped3k]

ECF has now updated the forums to integrate a new live chat feature.

You may have noticed the new Live Chat link at the top of the forum. Click on that link and you will be connected to the chat.

The live chat is a great way to talk about the electronic cigarette. Come join and start chatting away!

Note: For those that already have an IRC client, such as mirc, you can connect to the IRC server at:

irc.e-cigarette-forum.com
The port number is 6667

Edit:

Alex made a few screencasts on how to setup the different IRC clients:

mIRC: ScreenFlow video
Chatzilla: ScreenFlow video
XChat: ScreenFlow video

On a side note I should install a bump mod

Odd, I just got this message. I don't think I've done anything out of the ordinary.

Closing Link: Posidon[ool-182f2adb.dyn.optonline.net] (User has been permanently banned from e-cigarette-forum (no reason))

A suggestion. I'm a newbie myself, but if you don't already have this feature, you should make people have at least 15 posts on the forum before they can chat. It will avoid trouble in the chat room from trolls and spammers.

Very good idea ricky59.

That is very odd..

You may want to PM Timtam, have him check the ban list, as if you've never been in the chat before how could you be banned?

We're still ironing out a couple little kinks here and there, Heh.

Wow that is pretty neat!

Could someone walk an idiot through this Mirc thing, and how exactly one would join the ECF chat-room?

I have already installed and dloaded the program, quat now?

Okay, its actually pretty easy, but theres a few steps.

Start here; IRC mIRC » IRC add or modify server

Use those instructions to add a server, but heres the info specific to ECF

1 - the name, which shall appear in the list of the server
-Put in 'ECF Chat'

2 - the URL of the server
-Put in 72.20.38.123

leave the port 6667

And leave Group blank.

Hit the "Add" button, and Viola, now the ecf chat is in your list of servers.

Open your Networks (Servers?) list (I dont remember exactly, I havn't used mIRC in years) scroll down to ECF Chat, and click that, and you should be connected to our server.

join the #ecf channel (type /join #ecf in the text input line at the bottom of the screen) and you're in! You should be in our chat!

I hope this helps, I dont use windows, and therefore no mIRC, so I cant recall the specific menu names, or what the layout is anymore.

Sorry if I just confused you more.. Perhaps someone with mIRC can write "play-by-play" specific instructions (Including instrutions on adding #ecf as an auto-join on login?)

Hey, try joining the chat again.

Weeee, make sure you say the words Alex and Warped3k when you enter.

There was an error in chat last night that banned everyone - it's fixed now.
