- Is this a VMS client you are using? If so, you might have to query
- the channel that you want to be on. Join the channel first, like you
- have been doing, then type /query #channel. In your example, it would
- be:
- /join #UK
- *** dbrillha!dbrillha@dave.mis.semi.harris.com has joined channel #UK
- *** = #UK : dbrillha cyberwulf varg
- *** You have not joined a channel!
- /query #UK
-
- Then type whatever. Good luck!
