The location of where this appears depends on the receivers chat program. Most will be in the current window
- To Chat with a specific nick in a new window --> /QUERY nick message
Some chat program allows double clicking on the nick to open a private chat window.
- To Find out about a nick --> /whois nick
- To Stop someone from messaging you --> /ignore nick
This prevents Y/you from seeing any messages for the nick, even in rooms. Useful if nick is bugging Y/you.
- Change Y/your Nick --> /nick newnick
- Identify (login) --> /ns identify password
- Kill Y/your nick so you can log in when you ping out --> /ns ghost nick password
- Release your nick if it is locked -> /ns release password
- For additional Nick related commands see Full Nick Help
Groups are used to combine multiple nicks under 1 account on an irc server. If you have mulitple nicks, grouping them is recommended.
The room has aliases which act as groups in the room for the keeping of common records for all aliases. See JP if an alias is needed.
- Add a Nick to your group of nicks (ideal for Christmas, Holiday and away nicks), be that nick then -> /ns group mainnick password
- Remove a Nick from your group of nicks -> /ns ungroup nick
- See the nicks in a group -> /ns glist
Chat programs may have other ways for these actions, such as clicking on room names in the list to join them and closing the window to leave the room.
- List Rooms --> /List
- Join --> /join #roomname
- Leave --> /part
