There is no password on the #absolutewrite channel, so that shouldn't be an issue. Are you successfully connecting to starchat? What client are you using?

Hi zanzjan,

Thank you so much for replying.

I tried to enter chat, but I get the message as I wrote above, it says Admin has not given me the password to enter chat room.

About client, do you mean browser? If so then it is Safari.

:)

It is this message, I get;

"Your administrator has required a password to access this forum. Please enter this password now.

Can you tell me what specifically you're using, to get to where? Safari browser, but what URL, is it Mibbit, is it something else?

Ooops cross-posted with Kitty.

Hi KitCat and dpaterso,

I hope it will be alright I reply you both in same reply :)

I was just looking around this site, getting familiar with things, it is quite overwhelming here :)

I can't even figure out whether zanzjan replied my as a private message and now it is all out here. I was reading the " The Newbie Guide To Absolute Write", I've read it twice and it is btw very useful for newcomers - thank you for that.

And then somehow I ended up reading here "Forum: AW's IRC Chat
Guidelines, scheduled events, suggestions, and feedback regarding the AW IRC chat room"

I read some threads there, apparently it seems like some members have problems entering the chat. After that I pressed this "AW's IRC Chat" which is posted as a link above, and all that happened as I described above.

I guess, I just keep looking around the site and get to know how things works here, it is not much of much importance about the chat, I was just curious ;)

I didn't really use any URL, I just pressed the link as I saw in the threads.

Thank you to the both of you, so much.

Here's what I get:

Forbidden

You do not have permission to access this document.
Web Server at starchat.net

I've been in the chat before so have no idea why I'm having trouble now.

Can you try using Mibbit, http://www.mibbit.com/chat/

You should see the sign-in screen:

Select the yellow Server link and type irc.starchat.net into the Server: field.

Type your chosen nick into the Nick: field.
Note, if you have a registered nick, you would enter: nick password

Type #absolutewrite into the Channel: field.

Then select the Connect button.

Which should take you to the #AbsoluteWrite chat channel. (I just tried this -- and it worked.)

The above is taken from the FAQ about AW IRC Chat Channel (How to get there, who the operators are, etc.) thread.
