i've seen that suggestion so many times on this forum but can't find any guide for non-irc people to actually do it.
i tried using mIRC and also some in-browser chat, and keep getting this:
#mtgox Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
could someone please explain how to be 'identified with services' ??
register your username with NickService
/msg nickserv help
cool thanks, so i type REGISTER and it says Can't use this command in this window.
i really need the 'for dummies' version.
edit: okay worked it out, thanks... i really was doing it like a retard.
but still, it amazes me the hoops one has to go through just to talk to the guy, especially if you're not already familiar with irc.
