| - | The easiest way to set up and install our WebChat applet on your site is to simply copy and paste the following code and insert it into the HTML code of your web page where you'd like the WebChat applet to appear. You'll want to edit the nickname, channel, width, and height variables to customize the default nickname for your visitors, the name of your channel (or chat room), and the size of the Java applet.

| - | On our network you have the ability to permanently own your channel (or chat room). This allows you to kick out or ban troublesome visitors and extend these rights to others you trust. Once you've found a channel on our network that is not in use by anyone else, you can make that channel your own by following some simple steps. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * Join your new channel using the WebChat applet and verify that nobody else is in it. | + | |
| - | * Create an AuthServ account to use X3, our channel services bot. To do this, type the following command: | + | |
| - | <code> | + | |
| - | /authserv register < | + | |
| </ | </ | ||
| - | You'll need to fill in your desired username, password, and email address above. Your email address is only used to prevent multiple registrations and if you forget your password. We never use it to send you spam or for any other purposes. | ||
| - | * Check your email and type the command from the email to complete the account registration. It should look something like this: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | /msg AuthServ@X3.AfterNET.Services COOKIE < | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | * You should now be automatically logged in to your account. In the future, you can use the login-on-connect feature of the WebChat form to login when you connect or you can type the following command once connected: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | /authserv auth < | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | * Now that you are in your channel and logged in, you can register your channel with this command: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | /x3 register < | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | Remember that the channel name in the above command must begin with the # character. Our channel service bot, X3, will then join your channel. Whenever you login with AuthServ and join your channel, X3 will automatically make you a channel operator. You can learn all about X3's functions on this help page or by typing .help in your channel. | ||
| - | * If you have any questions, feel free to /join #afternet or /join #help and ask for assistance! | ||
