Looking for a few good ops

[Knight Otu]

No, but the link doesn't go anywhere. This is what it links to:
http://enworld.org/#

That might be because it isn't a "real" link. It's true, it doesn't lead anywhere, but it has an 'onclick' effect that opens a new window with the chat.

Or at least, it should do so, but I haven't tried it. There may be reasons it doesn't work (from experience, this type of link doesn't work with right-clicking or mouse-wheel clicking).

Knight's got that right. I tried coming up with a direct link for a few minutes last night but it's hidden Just click it and it should load a new window with the java chat. If it doesn't use either of the two options I gave you, or ask me for help

I think the IRC client is your best bet. A browser-opened window will just get lost behind all those elf pr0n sites EN World threads you're looking at.

Thanks KO, I had pop-up windows disabled, so that was an issue too.

thatdarncat, I seem to remember that splash page that's used whenever EN World goes down has a direct link, but I could be wrong. It should be the same link that's in your sig (which does work with right-clicking, by the way), and it'd be nice if that direct link was somewhere on the front page or somewhere on the website.

well the difference is where the java applet you're launching is hosted. The link on the menu is hosted here on EN World and automatically signs you in with your board nickname. The one in my signature is hosted by psioncis.net and doesn't have that board integration.

 

[Jdvn1]

Ah, gotcha. That's not a significant difference to me, though. I'm curious to know which route is more often used.

Even if you're not interested in an Ops position, join the chat anyway! If not that, then there is a Psionics.net teamspeak as well.

 

[thatdarncat]

mIRC or other IRC client is most common by a wide margin. EN World java and Psionics java account for a very small fraction of users. They both use essentially the same java client. I think Psionics has more options turned on than EN World, but EN World does your username for you.

Trillian is another popular way to chatting on psionics.net. I'm fairly certain Gaim and Miranda can be used as well.

Yes any of those IRC client programs work, even Chatzilla does to a point. But its not fully compatible, there will be messages you cannot see with ChatZilla.
