Which IRC client do you use?

Trying to get the website IRC to work with my Verizon hot spot connection does not seem to work for some reason. I keep getting this response -

Flash policy problem. If you are the server owner, please read http://redmine.lightirc.com/projects/lightirc/wiki/Flash_Policy_setup_instructions. You need to install a flash policy daemon at eu.chat4all.org (port 843).

I have been using Mibbit, but it seems to be having issues atm also, so what does everyone else use. I have tried a few others, but I can not seem to get them to work. I am not sure what to log onto a server.....

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I like Pidgin. Not specifically for IRC but works just as well.

This is a server side issue. As shown in bold, the server you are trying to connect (eu.chat4all.org) does not have a flash policy daemon installed, thus it does not support Flash-based incoming connections (website IRC).

Try connecting to another server using /server irc.chat4all.org or /server us.chat4all.org.

If the problem persists, then there's nothing you can do about it as it's a server-side issue regarding flash, so you better download a client like mIRC or Hexchat. They won't, of course, have flash problems as they're not flash based as the website one.

I usually use mIRC. It's a great little client.

Lime Chat (on mac). I used to use Mango IRC but it had too many bugs.

Is mIRC free?

It'll give you a 30-day trial but you can continue using after this period without restrictions.
It'll just ask for registration everytime you open it, but you can skip it and use it normally.

HexChat is free and is good.

I've used mIRC for many years. Registered it in 2000.

I use Mibbit its free

I haven't tried a bunch, but have been using HydraIRC for awhile with no problems (also free).

This is basically an open source copy of http://xchat.org/
I've walked people through configurations on Hex, and I've never seen it. As I understand, it's basically the same as xchat, which I paid $20 for four years ago and use on every PC I have. It's pretty slick and meets my needs completely. That said, save your money and go Hex or another free option mentioned here.

i use discord.

lol, you nerd!

I use INVISION. Easy on the eyes with it's dark mode, and lots of advanced options if you like tinkering, scripting, etc...

icechat 9 is pretty solid and use it on my windows machines, hexchat is great on linux

I still use mIRC, but its more of a habit than anything. There's plenty of great free IRC clients out there these days.

I've tried a bunch and personal like Quassel the most (for my needs)

Whatever client the website starts up.
