AppliedIRC News

AppliedIRC are proud to announce that James-M is joining the AppliedIRC staff. He will be joining the staff as a Network Systems Developer, to assist in the working of the backend AppliedIRC workings.

We should be seeing some interesting things over the coming months, and look forward to James-M working with us.

Also, don't forget to follow us on twitter, you can find the link on the homepage of the AppliedIRC homepage.

AppliedIRC would like to wish everyone a happy new year, and just like to tell you about some small changes here at AppliedIRC.

As you might have noticed, the design of the website has changed slightly. We've done this to refresh the website. It has only changed slightly, and unfortunately at the moment, the design is only in Orange. The rest of the colours will be coming within the next few weeks.

From everyone at AppliedIRC, we'd like to wish you Happy Holidays.

We look forward to seeing you back on IRC soon. :)

AppliedIRC is back up after we had a small hiccup yesterday regarding the domain name.

We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

After a few months in development, the AppliedIRC Quotes system has just now gone live.

The quotes system allows channel users to paste quotes from a channel into their quotes page. For that extra peace of mind, the option to moderate quotes is available for users with a set access in the channel.

You can enable quotes for your channel via My AppliedIRC and then the Quotes button. Once you have enabled them, you and other users will be able to view quotes and add them via http://quotes.appliedirc.com/channelname/ or by using the Quotes tab.

Also, a word of news from the development dungeon at AppliedIRC. Work is progressing on a channel web access module. This module will give channel admins more control over who can view the web elements for their channel. More on this feature soon.

As always, if you need any help, or encounter any problems with the AppliedIRC service, please contact an operator in #help.

Just a quick news post to update everyone with what's been going on behind the scenes at the AppliedIRC website.

We've recently added the FAQ section, to answer a lot of questions we have been receiving involving IRC. We've also slightly re-ordered the navigation for the 'Home' section of the AppliedIRC website.

The ability to post comments about news has been added, allowing members to discuss any news posts.

Our Webchat has been drastically changed, moving away from the horrible Java applet which was very temperamental, to the modern JavaScript Mibbit applet. We have joined forces with Mibbit to provide easy to use access to the AppliedIRC network.

In a slight development update, work is being done on channel quotes, but more on that in the near future.

As always, if you have any problems with the AppliedIRC website or service, please contact an operator in #help.

Over the past few days, a few subtle changes have happened on the AppliedIRC website. As you may have noticed, there is now a member bar above the navigation, which allows you to remain logged into your MyAppliedIRC account throughout the website.

Over the next coming weeks, more services will be integrated into the MyAppliedIRC login, such as logs and stats management.

There is also a quick colour switcher on the right of the member bar, allowing you to quickly change the colour of the website without having to visit "Update Site Settings".

Also, if you're a keen reader, please ignore the previous post about AppliedIRC v4, as this was an April Fools in which AppliedIRC got turned into RickRoll IRC.

As always, if you notice any issues with the AppliedIRC, please report them in #help, where an operator will make note and pass them on to myself or skenmy.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the availability of AppliedIRC v4. As of revision 428 (Stardate 4.104387), AppliedIRC v4 is open for public use. Please report any issues you may find with the new website in #lobby, where an operator will be listening closely

Changes:

AppliedIRC today performed a major upgrade of its IRCd package, InspIRCd. This involved the loading of many new modules, and thus introducing a lot of new features! Some of the most notable include:

* Connection throttling (to prevent against spam bot attacks)
* Introduction of various new channel and user modes
* Various bot detection techniques
* Reopening of port 6676 on all IP addresses.

Please ensure that you read server notices for any important information regarding connections, as we have changed our connection acceptance method. Your client should automatically handle the new system.

AppliedIRC is also pleased to announce the immediate availability of Logs Search - which can be accessed from the left-hand navigation panel whilst on any channel logs page! This system allows you to search up to one year of logs for any string - so you can find that all important piece of text.

We are also pleased to announce the first pages in our upcoming line of help and documentation pages - the Channel Mode and User Mode list pages! These pages detail the available channel and user modes on AppliedIRC - useful for both users and channel owners alike! We expect to develop more help and documentation, both on and off IRC, soon!

We would like to hear your comments and ideas on these new features and upgrades, and on the network in general! You can chat to us in #help via the Webchat on the left!

As of the latest version of the AppliedIRC website (v3.222), the support for getting settings related to the logging of channels has been built.

Users in a channel who have auto-op or higher are able to edit whether or not LogServ is logging their channel.

As always, please contact an operator in #help if you have any problems.
