Regular Jabber servers do tend to work though (tried ), so I guess it's more of a Google Talk related issue than a Jabber issue, even though it's pretty annoying.

The only way of receiving a message is to have your Jabber client running in the background on your machine, as usual. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A JABBER ACCOUNT TO SEND A MESSAGE - it's sent via the board account. If he has, click the button and a window pops up allowing you to type your message. This a weird way of doing it - I'd expect to see a Jabber button at the bottom of a post with the MSN, YIM, ICQ etc buttons. To use Jabber on the board, you identify the user you want to Jab then click the profile button to see whether he has a Jabber account. If you are the board admin you will obviously need to set up a separate account for the board also, and enter the details in the Jabber settings of the ACP. Full details of setting up an account are here. Getting an address simply involves trying whichever username you like until you hit on one unique to you. Trillian Pro (but not the free version) will deal with Jabber, too.Ī Jabber username looks just like an e-mail address i.e.

It's just another way of getting a message to another user.įirst off, if you want to receive Jabber messages you have to have a Jabber client and a Jabber username. It has a chat facility but THIS IS NOT IMPLEMENTED IN OLYMPUS, much to my disappointment. Jabber is another instant messaging system.

Now, children, gather round, sit quietly and Uncle Abe will explain to you all about the Olympus Jabber feature.
