Ircle

Does anyone have IRCLE? I need some help with it. I dont get how to join chats in it.

Isn't it just an IRC client?

I looked at it and it seems unnecessarily confusing. Try Fire instead if you have OS X. It allows you to connect to all the services and to apolyton's chatroom.

I have OS X. Where can I download Fire?

[Agathon]

Here:

Umm it's a Instant Messaging Client.

So is Ircle. Fire supports IRC which is what Ircle supports. Isn't that what you were after, something to connect to IRC chatrooms?

Fire also supports AIM MSN and ICQ IIRC.

edit: from Ircle's homepage:

Ircle is a Macintosh (only!) program to use IRC (Internet Relay Chat). IRC enables you to talk with typed messages, in realtime, to other Internet users around the world. IRC is organized in channels on a specific topic. You can also talk privately with someone. On average there are 100,000 users and 10,000 channels online on the big IRC networks.

From Fire's page:

Fire supports

AIM®
ICQ®
irc
Jabber
MSN®
Yahoo! Messenger®

I've used Fire on poly's chatroom so it does work with irc

Here's an index of IRC channels. Just put one in Fire, connect, choose a name, and you are away.

Ahhh. forgot the link.

I dont see how I can get on to Poly's chat? Just different IM things like MSN and AIM.

OK - I was just there. I assume you have the program running.

Open the "accounts" window (you can have this automatically shown if you want - in preferences) if it isn't open by going to the "Accounts" menu and selecting "Edit Accounts".

Then hit the "+" button. Type in the name you want to use and no password(it doesn't matter). Then type apolyton.net in the server field and make sure the port is 6667 (it should be already). Then take the account online by selecting it and clicking the online button (same window).

Then go to the buddies menu and click "add".

Enter Apolyton in the buddy name list and the name you want to use in the next one. Then select IRC and **default group**.

In the buddies window it should show you connected and you just click on the buddy (in mine it is "Agathon" and you are in. Here's a screenshot:

Forgot the shot

I'm there now, but no one else seems to be participating. I'll hang around for a bit. Buzz me through AIM if you have trouble.

[Tassadar500]

Delete.

[Agathon]

Ok Ping me through AIM(use ichat if you have it). I put you on my list but you aren't online.

Yeah, but Fire is free and NM wanted IRC.
