re’ #2-According to the referenced post, the only way to take control is to only allow registered and approved chatters. Is there a way to do so and make the room private and still allow everyone who enters thru the website to chat without making them register? Trying to use the KISS principle here.

re’ #3 I understand that I can get all the commands by using the help screens, but they are extremely long. In the event that one would need a quick reference to a command, would it be possible to list them all in an FAQ so they could be easily printed or more quickly referenced? Also, I am still looking for a post or an FAQ as to what all the little icons to the right of the chat window mean.

Sorry to be so longwinded here, but when I take on something like this, I want to know as much about it as I can.

Thanks

The room’s name is “The_Southernmost_Chatroom”. The title at the top of the room when you enter is the the name of the website it is linked to, “It’s_Only_Key_West.”

According to the instructions in the FAQs:

“To register your room using the “basic” room type:

/chanserv register YourPassword RoomDescription”

That is where the problem comes up. At that point, the room name has not even been asked for according to the posted instructions.

***SOME ADDITIONAL INFO***

I found another post that gave conflicting info on how to register a room by using the command

“/chanserv register #RoomName YourPassword RoomDescription”

I did that and now have a registered room.

Now that I have been able to do that, it brings up additional questions:

1) Will I always be an op when I log in even if someone else opened the room that day

2) Can I take “full control of the room” AND make it private without requiring me to list all the authorized chatters? In other words, can I make it so that anyone can chat as long as they enter through my website without having it listed here and have people from here entering? Not trying to be a snob, but am trying to limit bandwidth usage……costs $$$$ you know.

3) Is there a list of commands any place that lists them all without having to go through the “help” commands individually?

4) As an op, can I now /kick?

5) Can the chat window be made bigger?

Sorry to ask so many questions, but this is new to me. I just “inherited” my website due to the death of the original owner and have had to learn HTML within the last month. This is a whole new ballgame. I have been an op in other chatrooms and on a couple of bulletin boards, but the help screens here are pretty massive.

Thanks for your patience. Once I get the full hang of things, I will try to come back here and help answer questions that others may have if you so desire.

No

I’ve registered the nick, but it won’t let me register the room. It says I have to be an op to do that. In reading the forum here, I read where if you have a “@” before your name, you are an op. Since I am the only one there, I assumed I was an op…I’ll go try again.

OK, I tried again. It accepts my password and says that I have a registered nick. There is an “@” sign in front of my name, but when I try to register the room, it says I have to be a channel operator to register a room.
