About half my time on the CBG is done via my iPad, since I lack a laptop or netbook of any kind, and don't always want to be at home on my desktop. While I love my iPad, the fact that it cannot run flash makes using the IRC here impossible, and I've fallen in love with the CBG's IRC. I've tried a few apps for IRC and failed to connect, so have two questions:
First, does anyone know of a good IRC app for the iPad/iPhone?
Second, does anyone know how to make one of the bloody things work?
Have you tried this?

The IRC doesn't use Flash. It works fine on the iPad. (Or, at least, works fine on mine, running iOS 5)
EDIT: Well, it seems to work fine. Sometimes it is glitchy. I can understand if you'd not want to use this all the time. :?:
huh, maybe I just need an update - will attempt. If not, will give cgiir a go.
Okay, I've updated to 5.0 (god I wish I had ages ago, 90% of my problems with the iPad were fixed in that update), but but the problem I'm having with the IRC is that it loads up and I can enter...but I can't see anything I try to type in, or any messages being displayed. Any idea what might be going on here and if there's a way I could fix it?
Oh. I didn't notice this. Jomalley showed me Colloquy

Don't feel too bad, iOS 5 is new. You couldn't have updated "ages ago." ;)

I did some tests, and it seems like what might be going on is that the chat just gets scrolled up, so new messages are coming in, but since you're scrolled up, you never see them. If it appears to be having that problem, try dragging your finger upward in the chat, i.e., scrolling it all the way down. Maybe that will fix it.
thanks! I'll try that next time, hopefully it'll work. :) right now on the PC, and doing a ton of writing for Terra Macabre so don't want to stop, but will ASAP.
