When I first opened Colloquy, I'm presented a dialog to put in my nick name.
I did this, and hit vo+right arrow. Eventually, I got a... what appears! to
be combo box, of a list of i r c servers. I hit vo+space to drop the list
down, at which point I was presented a list of preconfigured servers. I
couldn't find any way to type in a server manually. It finally dawned on
me, that maybe this is an edit! combo, not a combo box as Voiceover's
reporting. So, I tried instead of hitting vo+down arrow to open the box,
just typing in a server address manually. So I typed
gamebird.ehhh.us
I left everything else completely alone, and hit connect. It let me in, but
then, in the file menu of the menu bar, If I went to join channel, I again
get a combo box or so it looks for the channels. When I vo+space on it to
open it, then vo+down arrow, I get nothing, and if I just simply down arrow
without the vo keys, it bwonks at me. I tried typing in manually a channel
name that I darnwell know! is on this server, as I go up there on my windows
machine with Mirc with Tirc Ralph very regularly and it works flawlessly.
I also tried just in case maybe the protocol wasn't set correctly and this
server doesn't use i r c, I tried all the other ones in that combo box
before connecting, but when I do, it won't let me connect, so it's obvious,
I was correct in the first place. If I put irc dot before the address, IE:
irc.gamebird.ehhh.us, it won't connect at all. I'm using the standard port
6667, which is exactly what I'm using on the Windows side of things that
works fine. So, yeah, either something's broken accessibility wize with
Colloquy, or I just don't have a clue what I'm doing. Probably the ladder.
I know there was another i r c client suggested, but I can't for the life a
me remember it, it was like X... sopmething X, or what not. I don't
remember... sorry...
Anyway, any help would be appreciated. I really wanna get i r c working on
the Mac, but if I can't, well, I guess I just can't. Sighs.
Chris.
