Firon Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 mIRC anyway, I don't use gaim, so I can't help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted April 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 can anyone else offer some help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Yeah, I don't use GAIM either, so I can't help ya out. All I can think of is to make sure it accesses the right ports. :/ Silverex makes a free version of X-Chat, it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbud Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I use the ChatZilla extension with Firefox. It's small and it's enough for what I want it for as I don't use IRC that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hofshi Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 yeah, because people like the dedicated IRC clients, but Gaim gets the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splintax Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I use the ChatZilla extension with Firefox. It's small and it's enough for what I want it for as I don't use IRC that much.Yep, I use that when I'm stuck using Firefox. Decent client.Though I prefer Opera's IRC client.
