Registering your Nickname
1. Choose a user name or nick. This user name should consist only of the letters from A-Z, the ciphers from 0-9 (but not as first character) and certain symbols such as "_" and "-" ("\" breakes some mails). It may have a maximum of 16 characters. Please note that some nicknames are used internally and cannot be used. Also, please stay family friendly with your nicknames
2. Change your user name to the user name you have chosen. Suppose you chose the nick "NewName" for example. Type the following in the input line:
/nick newname
3. Register your nick or user name. Type the following command and replace your_password with a password that will be easy to remember and use a working email address. Avoid hotmail.co.uk and Yahoo if you can, we get reports that Yahoo fails more often than not. Oddly enough, Yahoo managed email, such as ATT or SBCGlobal seem to work.
/ns register your_password yourName@yourMailProvider
4. Get the confirmation code from your email inbox. Type the following command and replace confirmation_code with the code sent to you in the email. It has the template shown below
/ns confirm confirmation_code
If you want your email address to remain private, use the following command:
/ns set hide email on
5. Register an alternate nickname using the same password. If you would like to register an alternate nickname, repeat the same procedure, using steps 2 to 4. Alternatively type /ns GROUP mainNick mainPass (see /ns help group)
6. Identify with NickServ. Each time you connect, you should sign in, or "identify" yourself, using the following command:
/ns identify your_password ( or /identify your_password on some servers )
7. Auto connect with mibbit: For your convience, if you are using the fully featured http://chat.mibbit.com (main client) and created a Mibbit account and are logged in, you can add that nick and password to the "My Account" list to be auto-identified. Most clients have their own way of setting up an auto-connect also.
note.. /ns is an alias for /msg nickserv on the Mibbit network and on most IRC clients )
/msg chanserv op #channel nick
/msg nickserv setpassword nempassword
/msg chanserv info #channel
/pass (newpassword) set new password psy
