I have found out one thing about this.
You need to have all commands in a notepad so you can copy and paste them quickly to nickserv because it will cut you off before you have a chance to type the information in and hit the enter key.
This ks a real iseue. Especially if your not a good typist or you hit a wrong key when entering information.
Good luck everyone!;

scratch that, I finally got it work.. figures. I found a proper instruction on the web in a blog post. The syntax shown is not quite right, you do not use $email-address or as is shown on the freenode channel.
it is “/msg nickserv password email-address” without any characters enclosing them or preceding them.
Now I can help people on the #drupal-support channel.
Great tool once you find out the syntax to use.

I am getting the same response when I try to register. My email address is a valid address, but it keeps responding that it “is not a valid email address.”

I am using the command – REGISTER

I am new to IRC. Can someone help with this?

“register your nick, which is done simply with /msg nickserv register $password (from the nick you want to register, of course).” -copy/paste quoted from above.

I agree this post is very useful, although it is out of date, eg:
/msg nickserv help set private
..not `hide’ anymore.

Hello sportchick,

Could you include a link to this post in the NickServ help message?
It’s much more readable than the help message from nickserv which is an unformated clear text .

Thanks!
