IRC - Internet Relay Chat was an early communication technology. It allows users to send and receive messages from the central server using client software.
Web-based Chats - These typically use Java to display and control a chat interface within a Web page. No additional software is required.
Instant Messengers - Software for managing and communicating with others. The most popular are ICQ (I Seek You), AOL (American Online) Instant Messenger, MSN (Microsoft Network) Messenger, and Yahoo! Messenger.
IRC
To participate in an Internet Relay Chat, you need an IRC program, commonly called a Client. There are a wide variety of IRC programs available, with varying levels of accessibility to those with disabilities. The most popular Macintosh IRC client is Ircle - external link. The best Windows based IRC client is mIRC - external link. These clients are primarily command based, meaning that the user must manually enter text commands into the interface to go to different chat areas, change preferences, and chat with others (for instance, '/JOIN #mychat' would log you into a room named 'mychat'). The accessibility of IRC clients varies and accessibility programs have been developed to work with Ircle, mIRC, and others, but most are outdated and do not work with newer IRC clients. Because of the limitations of IRC and the difficult to learn and use interfaces, it is not as frequently used as other chat tools.
The use of synchronous communications through a Web page interface is quite powerful. Most Web-based chats use the programming language Java to create an updateable region of the screen that can be used for chatting with other users that are at the same Web page. Because most users already have a Java-enabled Web browser, there are no other software downloads or installs. Unfortunately, the implementation of Java inside the Web browser is not very accessible. Unless the Java programmer has specifically designed the chat interface to work with screen readers, the screen reader will not be able to use the interface. Newer versions of Jaws are currently the only readers capable of reading Java output, however the author is unaware of any Java chat interfaces that have been developed for them. For users with disabilities other than vision problems (cognitive, motor, hearing, etc.), there are design principles that can make Web-based chat interfaces more accessible, such as use of clear/consistent navigation, not relying on audio for content, and easy-to-use interfaces.
Some Web-based chat programs have been developed to output HTML (HyperText Markup Language) only. These chats can be quite accessible to screen readers, because no additional software is required and the output is easily read by the software. HTML chats are also cross compatible and work with all new web browsers. HTML chat programs must allow the user to control how new messages are displayed - if new messages are automatically displayed, then the user may become confused. HTML chat windows must be automatically or manually refreshed to view new messages, which can be tedious or confusing to users.
HINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry about being one of the first to post. Introducing yourself is a great way to break the ice and start getting acquainted.
Maybe new members don’t know about these forums, don’t understand what to do, or just need a little encouragement. How about an invitation from you to join the group and post here? – maybe even set a time to meet in the forums. Get to know some local members by writing and inviting Mississippi members to join you here. If several forum posters chose a few Mississippi members each day and send them an invitation through the CS mail, you will see this forum become active.
There is a flower message that says “Meet me in the Connecting Singles Forums” you could send also – but a mail message could give more information and may work better.
For those of you who are new to forum posting here’s a short HowTo:
There is a Forums Navigation Bar underneath the main navigation bar at the top of this page. The ‘All Threads’ page is where all threads are listed- in order of most recent activity date at the top of the list.
If you have a new topic of interest and want to START A NEW THREAD:
click on 'Start New Thread' in the Forum navigation bar, choose an appropriate category, type your response and press 'submit'. Your thread will appear on the list of 'All Threads' and members will be able to view and post to it.
If you read a thread and want to REPLY TO A THREAD:
Click on the 'Reply to this Thread' button at the upper right of the page inside the thread. Type your response and submit. Your post will appear at the end of that thread- in the order it was submitted.
Please be sure to read the rules before you post...
Let’s get this Mississippi forum started!
