Chat is long gone.

Check out the The Helper chat.

Any IRC client will do (mIRC, ChatZilla, xchat, ...)

To be able to talk at all, you must register with your forum name.

You may use any nickname that is not registered yet.
Though your forum name is probably best.

<member name here> = NICKNAME YOU WANT TO BE CALLED

Once connected:
/msg NickServ register www.thehelper.net <member name here> <--YOU MUST DO THIS FIRST YOU CONNECT TO THE CHAT AND ONLY THAT TIME

Should that work, you may, from then on, identify as that member with:
/msg NickServ identify <forum password> <-- YOU HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY TIME YOU CONNECT TO THE CHAT

channel "#thehelper". Enjoy the chat. Any questions or problems please post here.

On a related note, TH made a serious mistake in his post... he put the link first, then the instructions. Should have been the other way around, otherwise no one will ever read them...

Oh, what about the become a "Special Member" thing?
And by the way please make a chat button at the navigation bar The Helper
So that at least the chat would have more people.

Oh, sorry what I mean is the left side navigation. It's more noticeable in there, maybe XD

You mean hidden within a bunch of other links? Hm...

Currently, it's right next to "User CP", the link of all links, that all rep-addicts (about 98.7% of our members),
check out about once every 6-7 seconds.
If you don't notice it there...

I would like to know what software you used to install the server and integrate it into vBulletin. Could you link me to the software page, please?

The server is UnrealIRCd (identifies itself in the main window when you join).
The "integration" is simply a Java applet that behaves like client software - in our case that's PJIRC (probably written somewhere on the chat page).

Sorry to bump such an mature thread (40+ days old, perhaps?), but I have to point 1 thing out.

The link to PJIRC, I think, is no longer up. The domain had been taken away by some ISP.

General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    Latest Recipe is Garlic Parmesan Chicken https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-garlic-parmesan-chicken.193575/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
