Is there anyway to prevent other people from signing and using my nick? The reason is my nick was used by another person while I was offline and took over my queues. I don't think it's possible to protect nicks because there's no password people have to enter when logging in.

You need to register it first of all. In any window type /msg nickserv register E-mail address password and press enter. You must do this while you are logged on using the nick. Have a look HERE (http://manual.conferenceroom.com/help/nickserv/set.html) for more ways to use commands.

First of all, thanks for your help ElaineM. Secondly, when I entered "/msg nickserv register E-mail address password," I get this:

-> *nickserv* register E-mail address password

Do I actually have to put in the email address and password or do I type out the actual words, "E-mail address" and "password"?

Also, when I log out and log back in, it never prompted me for a password.

You can make up a fake E-mail address and choose your own password. However you have to choose these and type them in instead of E-mail password.

I did what you said, but when I log in, I'm not prompted for a password. I even tried to set the Protect to High. This is what I typed in for the Protect: /msg nickserv set protect high

What am I doing wrong?

If you are using fastZ8, it is coming up as not being registered. Pleaso come into the chat room at #cdrom_guide_chat if you need more assistance.

The actual command you have to type is /ns register <password> <email>

Example: /ns register mypass example@webchat.org

You should also make the following setting on your nickname:

/ns set PROTECT on

By the way, the nickserv registration process might be different from server to server. For example, the command /nickserv refers to DALnet. Some other servers might require a different command and syntax.

Also, you must provide a valid email address because it requires you to confirm the address. Your nick is only temporarily registered to you until you confirm your email.

I don't think thats the case on Webnet.

I didn't have to confirm my e-mail.
