IRC Accounts With Adium
When Adium 1.4 was released I got really excited because 1.4 brought with it built in support for IRC. I downloaded the current version immediately and tried to connect to some of my favorite channels only find my self stuck after entering my server information. I would get either a connection error or a chat window with a message of "
Received CTCP 'VERSION' (to YOUR_USERNAME) from Evdrone" I tried running a few commands at this point but was going no where fast.
Turns out the solution is pretty easy, but not very obvious. At least not to me anyway. Unfortunatly the Adium website gives no instruction on how connect, so I thought I would put together a quick guide for accessing IRC with Adium in case others out there are having the same problem.
- Add a New Account to Adium 1.4 or later
- Add your screen name or username
- hostname: irc.servername.com
- Click Ok
- A chat window will appear. (This is the part that confused me.) Don't bother trying to run commands here.
- Instead go to the File Menu, and choose "Join Group Chat"
- Enter #your_channel_name. Click join, now your in.
