Hello all,
Due to some technical issues currently being suffered by undernet (I'll spare you the 2 hour discussion I had with the ircops), we have created an alternative channel.
Server: irc.blitzed.org
channel: #animus
Regards,
Strych

I just downloaded VortecIRC but I've never used an IRC server before and looking at the menu is possibly more confusing than a master's nuclear fusion exam. Can anyone give me a few pointers as to what to fill in where?
Thanks in advance!

You should try IceChat, it's quite fast and easy to configure. Basically it has a tutorial that gets you started, you type in server name, channel name and get connected.

Start vortec, it hould start with a "New Server Connection" screen in the center.
Where it says "Nick1" & "Nick2" replace that with your own nick. Nick1 being your standard one, nick2 a spare one for if the first is in use.
Click on "Advanced" on the right side.
Click on "Edit server List" on the right side
Click on "Add (top one)" Type "Blitzed" in the top bar and "irc.blitzed.org:6667" in the bottom field. Click on the 'v' at the top to confirm it.
At the bottom below default server, make sure it says "server: irc.blitzed.org" port: 6667
Click save.
You can go back to simple mode now (right side of the screen again).
Make sure it says "Blitzed" in the network selector and make sure your nicks are ok then click connect.
Vortec is old pirch. One of the more complicated irc proggies ;)
Regards,
Strych

Perhaps a stupid question, mIRC works as well right?
