Better instructions for getting "Registration Code"

Post by andreas-h »

Today it took me some time to figure out how to get a registration code for the LinuxMint community. Here's why:

On http://community.linuxmint.com/auth/register, it says
To get a registration code connect to the chatroom (From within Linux Mint, launch Menu->Welcome Screen and click on Chat Room), introduce yourself and ask for a registration code.
When I do exactly that (launch "Welcome Screen" on LInuxMint 17), the HexcChat program opens and asks me about Nick names, User names, Networks, ... see the attached screenshot. Now what? There's no mention which network to choose, or which channel to connect to ...

It took me quite some time to realize that I could just navigate to "Community -> Chat Rooms" on the LinuxMInt Community website ...

So please

a) Add the information about the web-based chat room to the explanation text

b) Add network + channel information to the explanation text
