How To Easily Join The tSR Chat!

So you may have noticed that we've begun using the chatroom again in the navigation of the forum, but there is an easier way to join the fun, without using your browser, and have it set up to join on your computer startup!!
If you already have an IRC program, connect with these details;
Server: drshnaps.biolizard.net
Room: #spriters-resource

irc://drshnaps.biolizard.com/spriters-resource

Step 1.
http://www.hexchat.org/
Download this application, and install. Start it up!
Only 1.5mb of space needed!

Step 2.

You'll want to fill in your name information. The second and third choice are basically for if that name is already taken. It probably won't be, but, you know.
Now click the "+ Add" button, and you'll have a new network in the list. Name this whatever you like, something like tSR Network or whatever you want. And then hit "Edit..."

You want to then hit the "+ Add" button in the top right, and put in "drshnaps.biolizard.net" - this is the network our room is hosted on.
Also tick "Auto connect to this network at startup"
You then want to type in "#spriters-resource" under the favourite channels section.
Click close!

Step 3.
You can now hit the connect button in the bottom right of the Network List window, or close the application and re-open it. It will now connect to the chatroom straight away!

Set up the application to start when your PC boots up using any method you wish, I use Windows 7 Manager's "Startup Manager" but you can use anything you like!

That's all you need to know in order to join in.
