Hi, I'm new. Great site but I have a small problem.

On the site where the chat is, it says " You are not connected to the IRC network, unable to send your command".

How do I fix it?

Hi, this bug happens occasionally. You may try refreshing the page a few times. If that does not work, then open the hamburger menu (the 3 horizontal lines) in the top-left of the chat app. Click the "saidit" server tab at the top. Type /connect in to the chat. The server will then reconnect. Then you can switch back to the #home channel and it should work. Let me know if you run in to any more problems.

Yeah, I figured it out. Apparently, I just had to write "/connect".

Cool, good deal.

Good to know. Maybe worth promoting in the chat documentation or something.

Does the IRC chat expose IP addresses?

[–]magnora7[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No, it does not expose any user IP addresses to the best of my knowledge. It just shows the host connecting data. Here is an example for a random current chat user named YangGang, to give you an idea:

(YangGang@Clk-127B7847)

This is all the connection info that is available to others. No IP addresses are shown

I'd be happy to make a hamburger icon that looks almost the same but with a touch of colour, maybe round the top corners a bit, like a burger.
