Change of IRC Server

[XorA]

irc.mibbit.net is closing down in 4 days.

I have moved the #QLforum, #QLforum-software, #QLforum-hardware channels to irc.libera.chat!

The chat.theqlforum.com link has been updated so if you use that, you should see no difference in the move (except you might need to re-register any registered nicks you are using)

All the channels are still bridged to the discord server by the trusty QL-Bot!

Can everyone please make sure they are using the server address: chat.theqlforum.com
This address will always be kept up to date.

The IRC WebClient is working and pointing to the new server - https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.theqlforum.com/#qlforum

Do I have to change anything in "QLirc"?

qdos-irc has been updated to use chat.theqlforum.com!

Yes. The current irc server details were hard-coded into the BASIC. If you are using v1.99.9 it will be in this line:

640 server$ = "irc.mibbit.net"

Change this to

640 server$ = "chat.theqlforum.com"

The line number may vary in other versions of QLirc.

For the choice of the three channels, change line 660 for the required channel, e.g.

660 forum$ = "#QLforum"

change the "#QLforum" to "#QLforum-software" or "#QLforum-hardware" if required.

As I get time, I'll make QLirc more configurable to handle this. But as Rob has said, by using the chat.theqlforum.com name for the server name you shouldn't need to change it in the future unless Rob says otherwise.

Ah, thank you. No problem to change that.

Here is a temporary v1.99.10 update of QLirc. BASIC program only, not had time to update other files such as instructions, IRC server details still hard-coded in the BASIC
