The OperaNet chat network

OperaNet IRC server: irc.opera.com

Entering commands

In order to use the services on OperaNet, you will have to learn how to enter commands.

Commands, such as "/nick" to change your nickname, all have a slash ("/") in front of them, and they can be entered from anywhere you would normally type in text to chat to others. Commands will be sent directly to the IRC server, and will be hidden from other users.

Examples

This changes your nickname to "NewNick01":
/nick NewNick01


Using this command, you will join the "#opera" channel:
/join #opera


This sends the text "help" in a private message to the user "NickServ":
/msg NickServ help


"NickServ" is the official OperaNet nick services bot, and it will respond with a brief help text.

Again, the command will be invisible to other users even though it is entered in the same place you would otherwise type in normal text.
