/NS identify yourpassword & /identify yourpassword
when i use these it tells me:
(error) NickServ Services is currently down. Please wait a few moments, and then try again.

problem is that its been a hell of a lot longer than a few moments thats why im wondering if there is something wrong with the serveror nickserv etc

for the other ways of messanging nickserv again i get:
(error) No such nick/channel: nickserv@services.dal.net

what da ya think
