nuffin this is doing my brains in ,ok so they are in me pants but I still cant get in
twoofus
what d'you mean nothing? if you've activated ok, have you tried
/join #swingingheaven
if you seem to be in a chatroom, but with noone else in it, it's the /join command you need.

I come onto SH and click chatroom then I get the box to enter,,, another box says
nickname,I type it in, and below it password I type in my key number (this could be my failing I dont know) then it comes up to connect ,,,,,then ,,, this is worse then coranation st,,,,, I click to connect and then loads of strange words come up like nickname not registered (but it is) and still cant get in to a chat room slash this space there hashthat
does it really have to be this comlicated never been on a chat room thats so hard to enter
,,,,disgruntled one of twoofus,,,, but hay ho still a great site
At the password box, you need to type the password that you have choosen, not the activation number.
John
right ok
when you get the grey screen with the user name and password boxes, type in the nick you've regsitered, and the password you used when you registered, then click connect.
you'll then be on channel. then type
/ns activate 123456789 or whatever your activation number was.
and then type
/join #swingingheaven
you should be in then
hope this helps

If you seem to be getting stuck in a void between rooms, then may I suggest you join the help room.
Once you have entered your nickname and password, as Neil says not your activation number, all you have to type is /join #shhelp
On the #shhelp channel it is not restricted to registered nicknames on entry. It is there to help people register their nicknames correctly.
Oh and just so as you know, the reason for the registration of nicknames is one of the ways we reduce the number of numpties coming into the room and causing aggro.
Keep trying (but don't forget to read the rules b4 you enter).

ok folks ,,,so I tried all of that ,,nickname,,,password,,,,connect,,,activation number,,,,
/all and hash that join SH and guess what,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nuffin,,,says I'm not activated,,,not registered not happening Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I dont want to sound patronising, but it aint rocket science........
ok so you get to the chat window
lets assume you havnt been on before.
all you do is choose a nickname.
I'll call it "newbie2004"
thats all you type .. then hit the connect now button.
now you have to register this nickname. to do that you type
/ns register myemail@address password
(insert YOUR email address and choose a password you will remember).
then go and wait for the email to arrive at the email address you told em about. this can take several hours...
now assuming you quit the chat system, you now need to enter it again. so again just type your nickname.
once in type
/ns activate 754
(actually you put the long number they send you in the email)
now either type /join #swingingheaven or log out and put your nickname AND your password in and enter.
Thats it. word for word.... step by step. print out what I've written and tick em off when you have successfully completed them.
Ian
Ahhh just thought, if you are trying to register a nickname that is already registered, it won't allow you. Also if you are putting a password in when the nick is not registered yet, it may also not let you in.
we ended up with the same problem and nothing would work as the activation code had already been sent out, the advice we were given (and it worked) is use another email address- even if u have to set up a temp email account with someone like or msn.
good luck
Hi this article got a bit hot did'nt it,,,however I think I must be writing with invisible ink ,,,I look aroung , mmm cant see it so I must have done,,,,
I have registered my nickname and email addy I even got an administrator saying they did it for me. Sounds good ,yeah, so I go through all that stuff and"yep you got it" nuffin.
And no I guess it aint "Rocket Science but then again I am not an astronaught.
I just dont understand why it has to be so complicated , ok so it keeps the"Numpties" out,
whatever they may be, but then again if some get in whats to say that others dont
and glad to hear I'm not alone on this one.
Thanks for everyones help and if I get in then an even bigger thanks to all
Hold the front page ,,,,, I did it ,yes I did at last fantastic ,,,guess what ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, no bugger in there just ustwo,,,, thats life ,,,,,humph
lololol
as a rough guess, i'd say there were at least 60 people in there at this time! you did remember to type
/join #swingingheaven
once you'd connected? seems you are all done, and thats the last step
neil x x x ;)
yes Niel I did , just tried again and got in once ( I think) and again only people in there????
then came out and tried again ,,,wont let me in AGAIN says I have to be registered ,but I am says the password for nickname ???????(or visa versa) is already registered ,,,yes to me, If I dont get this thing sorted out soon I shall give up for good dont wanna but my nerves wont take it anymore,,,yours truly tattered and worn nervous system
