These popup menus are configurable, you can change them in the Popups dialog to perform whatever functions you require. Popup menus are actually used everywhere in mIRC, you can even click your right mouse button in the status window, or in the channel window itself, and a different popup menu will appear. If you click your right mouse button in the listbox, a popup menu with various options will appear. The listbox on the side of the channel window lists all of the people who are currently on that channel. A good first message is just to say hello to everyone with a smiley face :-) Your message will be sent to the channel and everyone on the channel will see it. You can talk to other people by typing in a message and pressing the enter key. If it does not exist it will be created for you. If you want to create a channel called #bubbles, you would just type /join #bubbles. You can create a new channel if it does not already exist just by joining it. So if you wanted to join channel #mIRC, you would type /join #mIRC and press enter, and a moment later the #mIRC window will open indicating that you have joined it. The format of the /join command, which is a Basic IRC Command, is /join #channel where #channel is the name of the channel you want to join. You can also view the favorites folder by clicking on the favorites folder button in the toolbar or through the Tools menu.Īnother way to join a channel is to download and search through the list of active channels on a server by using the Channels List dialog. You can join one of the listed channels by selecting it and clicking the Join button. mIRC automatically pops up this folder the moment you connect to an IRC Server. The easiest way to join a channel is through the favorites folder where you can store a list of your favorite channels. Remember that each network you connect to has its own unique list of channels, created by users on that network. There are several ways to join a channel. Once you have connected to an IRC Server, you can join a channel to talk to other people.
