Your thread title contains no information on the problem, therefore people are less inclined to look into it and see what you need. Those who are inclined are typically through the "clickbait" attraction of such lack of information.

Don't stress too much -- Basically, just try to name your forum threads with a bit more clarity in the future (Consider: Help! how do I find the chat?)

... that said, have you gotten onto the chat alright?

What the hell is your problem? What the hell is any of your problems? I do not know what the hell to do. I have not been a part of this community since I lost my laptop as of few years ago. I have tried to log into the chat room. Countless times, mind you! I do not understand a lot of things. So - If that entitles you to mock me - Then by all means - Mock me. Shows how much of an actual person you are. Take your internet trolling elsewhere. I do not find it appropriate, amusing and/or humorous. I do not know what to do. I do not understand things like "you people" do as far as the intelligence level of understanding technology. So if you feel that gives you a advantage and/or thrill to judge me based upon my level of being able to comprehend such matters - Then by all means - Judge me with all for what it's worth. I have tried to log into the chat room. I have tried to register though the chatroom. I get nothing. I get nothing that says I need to do this - Or - I need to do that in order to gain access to chat. Just by sending me a fucking link - Doesn't do shit for me. I need a fucking guide - A step by fucking step tutorial as of what to do in order to understand things. So go ahead and make me feel like a piece of shit. Go ahead and make me feel like I am a waste of life because I do not understand matters like what you do. You know how that makes me feel? of course not. You don't give two shit's and/or a FUCK less about how I feel. All you think with is with your own level of intelligence based upon your own knowledge you've accrued over the years and experience you've obtained. So of course you can sit there and say that my post is clickbait without any relevant information when I don't understand. This is a god damn forum that people are supposed to be helpful - Not an inconsiderate piece of shit. X= So go ahead - Mock me. Vague post me. Quote what I said and take it out of context BECAUSE I DO NOT FUCKING UNDERSTAND A SINGLE GOD DAMN FUCKING THING. I am done caring about effortlessly lesser false pretense egotistical senseless self of an effort that falls in vain. The bottom line is this: Get it through your ignorant thick head: All of you who read this: I'm done giving a shit about what any of you think or say: If you cannot actually help me on my level of understanding then what and the fuck good are you as a person - As a moderator - As someone to consider or call a friend that does not take the time out of their life to actually explain a response - In order to fucking help someone who does not understand something - What good is that then? What good are you of a person who can sit there and make fun of that of another that has no level of understanding? What good are you to me if you cannot actually take the time out of your own narcissistic - Chauvinistic life - That you must think you are better than I - Because of your level of understanding....? What good are you..? If you cannot talk to me on a level that says hey .. friend .. This is what you have to do, try this .. And I'll be there for you and help you and talk you through it - If you cannot do that - Then - You are considerably nothing to me but one of those assholes that enjoyed making others lives hell by making them feel like shit - Because I get that a lot - And it's nothing new to me. So take it for what it is, you asshole.

Absolutely none of that was necessary and you have already been provided information to help you. I suggest actually taking the help instead of insulting someone in the thread who did nothing to you in any way.

Honey.

Stop.

Take a deep breath. Hold it, and let it out. Now another. You're angry. That's okay. Anger is normal and natural. We all feel angry sometimes. Take another breath. Slowly. Deep. Hold it there... and let it out slowly. Anger is normal. Especially when we're frustrated.

but don't let that anger rule you. So stop, take a few more deep breathes. Imagine a nice warm beach. Imagine a serene forest. Imagine the sweet desert wind and the heated sun. Imagine the snow-strewn forest holding it's breath in the moments after dawn. Imagine drifting underwater with spiraling beams of sunlight wrapping around you. Imagine peace. Just for a few moments.

Alright. Feeling better? I know it's not 'okay', but better doesn't mean it has to be okay.

Okay. Now. No one here is targeting you. No one here is laughing at you or is taunting you. No one here hates you. No one is mocking you, or judging you as being less of a person, or stupid or anything like that.

You said you "no clue as to how to access the chat" -- that could mean a lot of things.

Sometimes people can't find the link to the IRC. I actually want to say I remember a thread like this in the last few weeks--but it's possible it was older than that. Siral took the easy first step and provided you with the direct link to the chatroom.

Ratte sent you links explaining how to register a nickname and identify yourself on the IRC server, so you could access the chat room. This is another part people have trouble with.

We don't know where you are having trouble. We don't know if you've found the link, we don't know if you're having trouble connecting, we don't know where or what step you're having trouble with.

We can't help you if we don't know where you're having trouble.

Now.. Munkelzahn was a bit rude. But Munkelzahn has a grudge against non-descriptive forum titles.

Several times a week, people start new threads with vague titles like ("Does this happen to anyone else?" or "Is it just me?" or similar.) .... This is something that happens. I've done this too. It's easy to come to the forums with a question in mind and make a topic title that doesn't actually describe what you want to talk about with enough detail. That's okay. It happens. I often worry that my titles will be too long, so I'm always trying to come up with something short and sweet.

Sometimes it's too short. It's okay. It's a mistake. but it doesn't hurt anyone. we just have to try to do better in the future.

That said, back to Munkelzahn. Munkelzahn doesn't like these "clickbait" forum titles and whenever he sees one, he posts about it. I honestly don't really appreciate that he does that, or how he does it, because it often upsets people who do not normally come to the forums and make the forums--and the website--more of an unwelcoming experience to new users who are not familiar with him or his personality. As you've experienced.

But he's not doing it out of malice, maliciousness, or any desire to hurt you. He's doing it because it's what he does every time one of these threads is posted. He's not targeting you. He's not out to troll you. He's not trying to damage you.

So, okay? Deep breaths. Scroll back up to the pictures if you need to. amazing_background is a pretty great tag if you'd like something else. Past that we have plenty of pretty-artwork here

If you want us to help you, please carefully explain what steps you're taking and what's going wrong. We're happy to help you. You just have to tell us where you are and what's going on. We don't understand what the problem is, so we can't help. Let us help you.

But you gotta calm down.

We're not out to get you. we're not here to hurt you. Most of us are trying to help.

So take some deep breaths. chill out. And tell us what steps you've taken to connect to the chat and let us help you.

Here's an example of what I think would be helpful:

Examples:

I clicked on the 'chat' link, but it jsut says "connecting to server" and never changes.

I've clicked on the chat link and I think I've registered a nickname, but I can't identify myself. it just says "error!"

I clicked on the 'chat' link, but all it says is:

05:10:00 <lynx.furnet.org> *** Looking up your hostname...05:10:00 <lynx.furnet.org> *** Checking ident...05:10:00 <lynx.furnet.org> *** Found your hostname05:10:01 <lynx.furnet.org> *** Received identd response05:10:01 <Global> [Logon News - Oct 29 2014] Have you read the Code of Conduct for Users? Go to http://www.furnet.org/wiki/index.php/Code_Of_Conduct_Users - this applies to ALL users!05:10:01 <Global> [Random News - Mar 08 2005] Having problems connecting to irc.furnet.org? Use irc.furnet.info instead (this is a backup dns name - irc.furnet.org always is the most current)

and it's been almost 5 minutes and nothing's changed.

I've logged in, and registered my name and identified myself, but it won't let me in the chat room. when I try to join it says (error message)

That would help us more than "I have tried to log into the chat room. Countless times" ... and more than anger and rage will.

I made the same mistake quite a few times on this site, but dude you have to calm down, like Snowwolf helped me, and like s/he is saying, take some deep breathes, because if you comment like that over time, you’ll be on the verge of getting permabanned. I know it sucks that you lost your lab top, but if your behavior continues like this, you’ll lose your account. Just saying.

rudeness is returned to rudeness, not too shocking. Hope ye got your problem on the way to being sorted out OP

To all of you who actually considered my feelings - I greatly appreciate all that you've done. I'm dealing with a lot of life troubles - Troubles I shouldn't take out on those around me - I've demolished two 30 pack's of BUSH in less than a span of a week. So I've become an alcoholic - Especially after losing a family member. I've been on the verge of more than just self destructing. I've got quite an inheritance - But that does not change - Nor excuse my behavior - No. I will not sit here and say I am not in any way guilty of wrong doing - Because I am - I am humble and show humility to admit my wrong and mistakes. Thanks to you all endearingly - I cannot express my level of gratitude enough. Even now - I'm partially wasted - But sober enough to control myself - Rather than just going off the deep end. However. That being said/and/or done - I still feel lesser of a person - Because I still do not understand. Details? I'll give the details I only know! I click to log into the chatroom - And it is blank. I don't know what to do. I clicked the few links provided - I am taken to a Furnet - Register page ..? I don't even know what to do there because there is no register just log in. I tried a few other means - And yet - I get nothing. :/ I honestly don't know how to be more descriptive in order to explain myself ..? None of this make any lick of absolute sense to me. v.v I feel so helpless and a lost cause. I wish I could have someone look over my shoulder and explain a step by step tutorial of what I must do - It would be so much more easier ... Hm.. About the only thing I can think of - Is using a Join.me and screen sharing the process.. I feel so helpless v.v .. *Sighs* I honestly wish I wasn't so stupid when it comes to this stuff. Dx - And thank you for the beautiful pictures ♥

jesus fuck this is a train wreck

I don't know what's going on but that wall of text looks a pain to read.

I want you to know that I'm really sorry for you and I hope that you get through your troubles. My dad was very sick a while ago and I were terrified at the time that he wouldn't make it. I'm in no place to judge you for your rant, because I know that if he hadn't made it I would be no better of than you.

That said, seems like a silly question but what color is 'blank'? When I open the page I see, in order: black, blue, progress bar, white and after a while some red text. Depending on your internet this could probably take a while. If you've registered before you should be able to simply type /msg nickserv identify <your password>. When it registers that you type /join #e621 to join the chat (all written in Siral Exan's link). This should help us see exactly where you get stuck ^.^

I"m sorry you're having a difficult time. Losing someone is never easy, and it leaves deep wounds.

I forgive you for your wrongs, but you need to try to do better: You realize that there's a problem, so try to fix it, okay? Don't buy more alcohol. Find a better way to deal with your pain right now. Your loved one would want you to stay happy and healthy.

Happy isn't so easy, I know, but you'll get there in time. But drinking won't fix the problem. It's just a bandaid that makes you feel better.

You're better then that. I know you are.

Okay.. on to the chat room.

Waugh. Okay I've tried recording something like 3 or 4 times and stuff keeps going wrong.

Okay.

Here are your instructions. If it doesnt' work for you, TELL ME WHERE so we can help.

1. Click "chat" up at the top of the e621 website. The screen will go through some different phases:
a. Nothing but the usual e621 background.
b. Black box
c. Blue box, saying something like "connecting to server... resolving hostname. Image
d. White screen, with text like this:

In all cases, be patient and wait. if about 5 minutes passes, it might not work for you.

It doesn't work for me. I use an external piece of software called hexchat.

If you do this, you need to connect to furnet. see if furnet is on the server list.

If it isn't.. ADD a new network. then EDIT it, to read something like irc.furnet.org

make sure everything is saved.

Hit 'connect'

BE PATIENT.

It takes a few minutes.

when you connect, you'll get a WHOLE LOT of text.

here are the important things you need to know:

<-- this command will try to join our chatroom. It will not work until....

you register a name:

so... /msg nickserv register 123abc [email protected]

... then, you will receive an email at that email address. It will give you a command to copy and paste into the chat. Do it.

Later, you will need to log in using a command. You will need to do this every time you log in.

Once you do that, you can use the join command to join e621.

:/, I’m sorry dude. That is so frustrating and stressful, I can’t even imagine. Good on you for apologizing and not continuing your previous actions. :) I hope the best for you and hope you feel better.
