- Connect to WyldRyde: If you are a novice computer user we suggest you use our Web Chat to join the server and start chatting right away. If you are more experienced with computers we suggest you download and use your own IRC chat client. (With an IRC Client there are three basic steps involved in joining the network selecting and downloading an IRC chat client, configuring the client, and logging on to a server.)
All commands in the following steps are typed in to the Web Chat or an IRC chat client that is connected to WyldRyde. If you should require any assistance with the following steps please do not hesitate to ask for help in our Help Chat.
- Register your own nick:
- Make sure your nickname is one you want to use while moderating your chatroom. To change your nick type /nick new-nick. Replace new-nick with the nickname you want to switch to and hit enter. Note: Your nickname should only consist of English letters, may not include spaces, and should not include punctuation.
- Copy the following /msg nickserv register password email to the chat client. Replace password with a unique password you can remember, replace email with your email address. Please remember that passwords are case sensitive. Double check your password and email address then hit enter. (When ever you reconnect to the network you will have to Identify yourself to NickServ, to do this you'll type /ns identify password .)

Web Chat Type: WyldRyde Flash (BETA!)
This is a beta release. There are still bugs that need to be fixed and we appreciate receiving bug reports and your feedback.Your Channel Name:
- Create a blank HTML document or load an existing page (where you want the flash chat) in a text editor (do not use Frontpage, Dreamweaver, or other WYSIWYG editors that modify/mangle code on their own!) Do not place the script on the front page of your site or in a template that is loaded on every page of the site! Instead, we recommend you put the chat on its own dedicated page and link to that page through out your web site.
- Paste the following code into the new HTML document you created or opened.
- Save the document.
You may not make any changes to the code without asking (Jeff) in #help! If you make changes without permission you are on your own as we will not provide any support! Additionally, if your changes cause problems for us, the staff will not hesitate to ban your users and/or forbid your channel!
- Upload the document to your web server.
- Point your web browser to the document you uploaded and if it works, that's it, your done!
If you are unable to get the script to operate, and you have not edited the code, please report the problem in #help or this forum. If you edited the code remove the changes before requesting support!
Please do not list our servers' addresses on your chat page as they change from time to time. You may link to: http://www.wyldryde.org/servers/ or use a php include or javascript to incorporate this dynamic list of servers so your users can still connect to us with their own IRC Client.
Please take a few moments to read our tips on how to get users into your chat room and some of our FAQ topics as many common questions are already answered.
