I tried doing [this](http://www.justin.tv/p/irc_guide) for chatzilla
and keep getting [this](http://i.imgur.com/AABwlZx.png). The fuck am I
doing wrong? Nothing I try works.

Looks like you did not log in? You need to sign in with your twitch.tv
name and password.

To Authenticate: simply enter "/server mychannel.jtvirc.com:6667
**username irc_password**" into the bottom of the window.

I tried /server onepq.jtvirc.com:6667 onepq irc_(mypassword)

And I tried /server onepq.jtvirc.com:6667 onepq (mypassword)

Same thing happens

Without the brackets I assume?

yep

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright, I am trying myself. I just got it to work with xchat. I will
keep trying with chatzilla.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
JohnStrangerGalt · 2013-02-16 19:20

Alright, I got it to work and this is what I did.
1. Clicked Chatzilla > Preferences > twitchname.jtvirc.com - Changed
my nickname to my twitchname
2. Typed /attach twitchname.jtvirc.com/?pass=Twitchpassword - into the
client

----------------------------------------------------------------------
rAtheismSelfPostOnly · 2013-02-16 20:04

Ok it worked. I'm connected. So how do I join different people's chat?

type /join #channel ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
JohnStrangerGalt · 2013-02-16 20:05

/join #twitchchannel Will bring you to their room chat.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
rAtheismSelfPostOnly · 2013-02-16 20:07

I'm getting:

*To join #eg_idra, please configure your IRC client to connect to
eg_idra.jtvirc.com and port 6667. If you did connect to
eg_idra.jtvirc.com and you're still getting this message, try
connecting to 199.9.253.199*

----------------------------------------------------------------------
JohnStrangerGalt · 2013-02-16 20:19

Not sure, as I joined fine without connecting to that irc network. Try
anyways?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
rAtheismSelfPostOnly · 2013-02-16 20:25

Oh ok I think I got it. I have to do the attach thing whenever I want
to go elsewhere

----------------------------------------------------------------------
JohnStrangerGalt · 2013-02-16 20:32

You *should* not have to. Can you join your own channel when you
connect?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried the /join again and it worked.. I can join the other chats
easily. Don't know what I did differently but thanks for the help!
It's working fine now
