I have tried many to check it out, sorry to ask again, but I do not get how it actually works.
Can anyone get it or do you have to have a special download of some sort?
There seems something to do with Java.

I can't think of anything to suggest you try that isn't already in the sticky thread!

I've used the starchat route (needs Java which most folks already have) and Chatzilla (a Firefox app) and IceChat (a downloadable IRC program) and also Mibbit, without problems, all detailed in that thread.

Catian,

All the clients DPaterson suggested are legitimate. I personally use mIRC.

Java, on the other hand, is browser based and most people already have it installed. If you don't want to download something special, that would be the route to go until you decide if you want to stick with it.

Hope to see you soon!

I recommend downloading and installing Java and then just using this link ( http://www.starchat.net/chat/?chan=Absolutewrite). (If you click that link your browser will probably show you where you can download Java if you don't have it installed already.)

This is really easy and having Java might come in handy for other internet related things also :)
