Okay, you can detach and resize the chat window by pressing the button marked for restore (the two little squares next to the cross to close the window) and that let’s you resize the window at will but the page does still have to be open. Nice trick, I like that. 😀
Anyway, to register your username on the server press the “Status” button which brings up the console window, that’s the one with all the connection gobbledegook on it, you don’t need to know about it. then type the following using your username instead of in the command line:
/msg nickserv register
That’s it and you’ll get a message back telling you the password.
Any questions, just ask.
