Sorry, stupid question about IRC →[More:]This is a stupid question, I know, but I'm just not that fluent on the computer. When it comes to SlashNet and the IRC... I got kicked off a time or two, and so I registered with NickServe. I got a message on my e-mail with an "authenication code" that I'm supposed to submit to NickServe. I know how (/MSG NickServe Auth **********) but where? I tried on the SlashNet board, but it doesn't work. Hope me, bunny friends!

Redvixen, the easiest thing to do is to log in to #bunnies and do it there, in the main field where you type text. The command won't show up to anyone else.

Thank you, I'll give it a shot.

Oh, and the other thing is that chatzilla doesn't seem to like upper case commands, so you may need to revise it to "/msg nickserv auth *****" -- note that there's no E on the end of nickserv.

Do you use Chatzilla? If you do, when you click on the little #bunnies link, two Chatzilla tabs should open up - one points to #bunnies and one is like a general tab, I guess. I usually type it into the general tab, in case I screw it up, so that I don't flash my password to everyone in the room!

No, I just go on to SlashNet. Is it even necessary to register? 'Cause I wouldn't want someone to steal my name. ;^)
