Lorl's quick setup (for pidgin)

Getting logged in

  1. Download and install Pidgin: [1]
  2. The Accounts window should open, if not, click accounts > manage accounts
  3. Click Add
  4. Set protocol to XMPP
  5. Username is your forum username, replacing any spaces with periods "." and use your forum password
  6. There is no...
  7. Domain is eveuniversity.org
  8. Set Resource to something, (i.e. desktop, laptop, phone, bob: it doesn't really matter what)
  9. Probably want to set to remember password
  10. Click Add!

Getting into a chat room

  1. In the buddies list, click Tools > Room List
  2. Ensure account is your university one (only matters if you're on other jabber servers too)
  3. Click on Get List
  4. Ensure that the conference server is: conference.eveuniversity.org click on Find Rooms

Making your own chat room

As in "Getting into a chat room," except: instead of #5:

  1. Click Add Chat
  2. Give your room a name, and a password if you want, then click add
  3. Go back to your buddy list, and double click on the chat you created.
  4. If you want a basic, temporary non password protected room, just click Accept Defaults, otherwise Configure Room:
    1. If clicked configure, change settings as you wish, be sure to click Make room password protected, and insert the password you picked if you want it to be password protected.
    2. To later change settings, type "/config" in the chat room.

Handy tip, even if you don't make a room persistent, it will stay in your buddy list, and you can easily recreate it to use again. Another Pro tip: type /help for a list of commands (in any client)
