Hi. So this will be my first IRC experience and I simply can't find
any info online AT ALL that gives a specific example of how the Server
Settings page is supposed to be filled out. Like half the items on the
page are still missing something and it clearly needs to be input with
something because it will NOT allow me to click "done". Also, given
that I'm a noob, how is somebody supposed to know how to translate a
website address into a channel address??? Like I've seen different
examples from different tutorials and some end in .com and some in
.org and it doesn't seem like they necessarily line up with website
address, so how am I supposed to find out how to do this? I just want
to start chatting so I can ask people on IRC about all the fine tuning
but I can't even seem to get started and its frustrating the crap out
of me. Ive been at it for 3 days now. Somebody please help me, and
please don't comment if you aren't going to help with my specific
issue and just say that it isn't for me or try to get me to change
what I'm using. I want to use THIS app, and I know I'm close to
getting it done, so I'm not giving up. Thanks in advance, and a
picture of an actually usable example will help greatly. Bye for now.

Could you edit your post with screenshots or more details about what
exactly you're having trouble with?

So I have no idea how to add a picture to a text post on reddit. I
didn't even think that was an option and can't find instructions
online about it without posting the images to some website and putting
the link, which I don't wanna do. Here are the spots left blank after
I choose a network:

Channels to join:_____________
Nickserv password:__________
Server password:____________
Commands to run on connect:______________

- Channels to join: If you want IRCCloud to automatically join
channels when it connects to the IRC server/network, you'd put those
here, separated by commas.

 For example: ```#chatzone,#IRChelp,#beginners```

 If, say, #IRChelp requires a the password "pleaseletmein" to join,
you'd put the password after the channel name, separated by a space.

 For example: ```#chatzone,#IRChelp pleaseletmein,#beginners```

- NickServ password: You'd use this if your nickname is registered on
the server/network you're using. Just put the password in this field.

- Server password: Some servers may require a password to even
connect. If this is the case, the server password goes here.

- Commands to run on connect: If you want to run some commands after a
connection to the server/network has been established, those go here,
with each command on a new line.

Okay, so I figured that would be the case with everything you have
pointed out, except for that password part of the channels area so
thank you for the clarification on that, but I guess what I'm asking
now is how am I supposed to know what the names of the channels are?
Is it the same for every network and there is just a directory im not
aware of? Like is #chatzone the main chat room for all servers? And
what kind of commands could I put in? Is there a directory for that as
well? I'm a little lost here, as you can clearly see. Do people
usually have a background of knowledge in a specific area before they
use irc or does everybody just figure it out as they go along? Cuz I'm
normally a quick learner, but it seems like I'm missing something
here.

Sorry, I meant "for all networks" when it comes to my question about
#chatzone

Ah. Never mind. I figured it out. It all makes sense now. Thank you
for putting up with my ignorance
