Re: IRC
Hello nsc1xm02,
the IRC channel is NOT a feature of the Tiki software.
You need to get a channel in one of the IRC networks or setup an owIRC server. Then you can link to that channel from your Tiki website.
We have a few features like displaying new forum posts to the IRC chat or logging, but th is made with e-mail and so called IRC bots - it is not me who maintaines that and it would be a d start to "review the internet" (aka using search enginges, aka googling) for general and more detailed information about IRC (Internet Relay Chat).
I hope I could help, regards,
Torsten
