IRC setup does not appear to be working

The #rubyonrails irc at irc.freenode.net requires registered nicknames. While I can get nickserv to admit I am me, the irc chat does not appear to be convinced. I am using colloquy to login to the chat and it complains each time that #rubyonrails requires registration, even though I have the nick and password entered in the server config. It also indicates the nick belongs to someone else, even though I just registered it today. I do /msg nickserv identity <pass> and it acknowledges me. But, my messages go out to apparently nowhere.

Troubleshooting tips appreciated.

Did you ever figure out how to do this? I’m having this exact problem 14 years later.

I never did get it working, and have not been using rails for many years. Sorry I could not help.
