How to Use the Pager

Anyplace you can find a list of Online members you can page them. These include the Active Users box found on the top right column of the Portal page. Click on the Pager icon next to their name.



The Currently Active Users list found at the bottom of the Forum page.



You can also page them from from the Contact Info box found on each users Profile page.


There is a limit of 150 characters allowed, including spaces. The page is not instant and takes a minute or two for the other party to receive. They can reply back to you if they chose, but you cannot reply back without opening another Pager session.

OK...so there I was, looking through the new posts and there was one on how to get to the webbased version of everywhere chat for APCChat (http://irc.everywherechat.com:8000 and /join #apcchat).

I then went through the pain of figuring out how to set up IRC in Trillian again. Once in the chat room someone (you know who you are) mentioned the good intention of putting together a post on how to set up mIRC (or other IRC client software). So here it is...

First, download mIRC from here .

It's good for people to know who you are. So you should set up your nickname. I've whited out my real name and e-mail, but you can tell where they go. Your nickname should go in the box where you see "Turbomkt" in this picture:



Once you've got it set up, you've got to add some settings. First is the server. It should be irc.everywherechat.com:6667. 6667 is the port number and is generic to IRC. It should look like this:



Once you've connected to the server, you'll want to join a chat room. When you first come in you should get a pop up like this:



Enter #apcchat here.

Another way to get there, if you're already connected to the server is the "Join channel" selection. Get there from here:



and enter this:





At this point, things should be working! Enjoy...

OK. Some users use trillian as well. Here's a bit for trillian

First you need to create a IRC connection. That's here:



Once you're connected, you need to join the channel. Click on the IRC icon in Trillian and choose Show status window.



Once you've got the status window you can type in /join #apcchat like mIRC like this:



Now you should be in!
