quote: How do I join a channel with the IRC plugin? First create the account, then sign on. After you have signed on, you can use File->Join A Chat on the buddy list to join a channel. In any window, either a conversation or a chat, in which your IRC user is the sender, you can also use /join to connect to a new channel.
Is there a way to make Gaim automatically identify me and/or join IRC chats on login? Yes. Add NickServ to your buddy list and place buddy pounces on him/her/it. Do not include "/msg nickserv" as part of the message to send. In version 0.64 or higher, you can add a chat to your buddy list, right click it, and tell Gaim to auto-join it.
Is it possible to change the user name that appears in username@hostname? Yes. Go to Tools->Accounts. Select your IRC account and click Modify. Expand the Show more options section. Enter a name in the Username field.
How can I set/change my real name? Go to Tools->Accounts. Select your IRC account and click modify. Expand the Show more options section. Enter a name in the Real name field.
