Ircle Installation (for Apple Macintosh)

1. Download: Here you will find the most recent version of Ircle.
2. Unzip after download by double clicking on the file.
3. Start ircle

Configuration



Now a window appears on the right side Connections, Click on number 1: and then on Edit...




Then the window will open. Fill out both fields Nickname (this is the name you have registered on this website under "Nick registration" and with which you are visible in the chat room.) and Username (normally it's the name, which stands in front of the @ of your email address). Enter your name where it says Real Name. This does not have to be your actual real name, you may also enter your SHOE nickname.

Where it says Server: Click on Select...




You need to click on "Add"...




A new window will open up. Enter the server description, the address and port. If you are behind a firewall, it may be, that port 6667 is not accessable.If this is the case, you will get an error message when trying to connect. If this happens to you, then enter this port number: 443 - That should do the trick to cheat the firewall ;-)

Confirm with OK

Confirm in the window Server with Select
Confirm in the window Connection preferences with OK




The window select should now look similar to this. Now click on Connect




If the connection was successfull, you should be able to see this symbol under status.




Now go to the menue Commands and then select Join.




Enter the channel. For instance #english

Where it says "Password" you may enter your password, which you chosen at the Nick registration. Please only save your password here if you are the only one who has access to your computer. If another person abuses the chat facility in your name, you will be held responsible. Always treat your passwords with the utmost caution. In case of doubt, leave this field "password" empty.

Confirm with OK.
Done! You are now in the chat room!
