irc client

[doomgiver]

wanted irc client

must be idiot proof, hassle free, good gui
no mirc, xchat, smuxi (these dont work)

must have colored usernames(like smuxi)

windows 7 32 bit.

Have you tried Chatzilla? Firefox addon. And you can install separately under xulrunner.

Even Opera irc client is pretty good.

 

[doomgiver]

i'll try chatzilla.

it has different colored nicks?
also, opera's client hangs up when i try to fetch the room list

Wait for it to load. It takes some time.

mirc + nnscript is what I use on Windows. Irssi for linux.

Type your nick and channel as "krow". And enjoy the Akbar and Birbal sessions.

^^ lol!

Btw, @doomgiver: Why hate XChat? I use it, and it's pretty good, with a lot of customization. It has colored user names, keeps logs and you can change theme too with a little geeking. Pretty good IMO.

Digit's IRC is not in session from quite some time. But #krow is the #digit replacement for all and every purpose for us digitians!

Xchat has an extremely stupid interface. Mirc + nnscript is somewhat usable. Irssi is what I find the best.

Well, that's why I said, we can "customize" it.
Anyway.. havn't used Mirc/Irssi. So can't compare.

internet relay chat, kinda like gtalk, but many ppl can talk TOGETHER at the same time, like in a room.

Sticky thread in the Chit-Chat section.

Mirc + nnscript win in all aspect.

 

[doomgiver]

@Doom: How did you find chatzilla?

not so good, maybe i'll use it sometimes, but i think opera+chatzilla will do just fine
