3. Identify with Grove

   

   Connect to the Grove server. Select your new connection from the list and click Join channel.

   

   Now join one of your organization's channels by typing the channel name or by clicking the arrow button to list and join channels.

   

   Enter your Grove account password and you're good to go.

4. Join channels

   Colloquy should join all your channels automatically. To join a channel manually, use the /join <channel> command or the Join Chat Room... option in File menu. Available channels are listed on your dashboard.

Note: Not seeing any channels in the channel list? Colloquy caches the channel list, so just make sure you're properly authenticated and try back again later.
