| <box 20% orange right |**New CGI:IRC Chat**> | ====== Chat from Your Browser ====== |
| Help test our [[https://www.afternet.org/cgigw/|new CGI:IRC chat]] system! No java required, and it's pretty. | |

| |
| ====== AfterNET Java Chat ====== | ===== qwebirc ===== |
| |
| <javachat2> | Our **[[https://www.afternet.org/qwebirc|qwebirc]]** client is the best way to chat on AfterNET from your web browser. |
| |
| ===== Instructions ===== | ===== KiwiIRC ===== |
| |
| Enter your nickname and press Continue, then wait while Java applet loads. If you have an AuthServ account, you can automatically log in by clicking the "Log in using your AfterNET account" link and providing your username and password. It may take a while to load on dialup connections. The chat applet requires JavaScript and [[http://java.com/en/download/|Java 1.4]] or later. It has been tested with IE6, IE7, and [[http://www.mozillia.org/products/firefox/|Firefox]]. | * We're testing [[https://kiwiirc.afternet.org/|KiwiIRC]], a new web-based IRC client. [[https://kiwiirc.afternet.org/|Give it a try]] and let us know what you think! |
| |
| ===== Put Chat on Your Website ===== | ===== Mibbit ===== |
| |
| You can [[help:installing:webchat|embed the chat applet]] directly into your own website. This is useful if you'd rather not have to send your visitors to our site to chat. Or, just send users to our page by using one of the links below. The first link will open the chat applet within our website, and the second will open it in a new window. Change "yourchannel" to the name of your channel without the # in front. | Some users like [[http://embed.mibbit.com/?server=irc.afternet.org&channel=%23afternet|Mibbit]]. It supports multiple networks and has advertisements and frogs. |

| You can also link users to the new CGI:IRC chat system we're currently testing. Change "yourchannel" to the name of your channel, and be sure to leave the "%23" in the URL right before your channel name. | Many IRC clients are available for different operating systems. Once installed, connect to **[[irc://irc.afternet.org/AfterNET|irc.afternet.org]]**. Here are some IRC clients we like: |
