Well there's a couple settings you have to configure for it to work.
In mIRC go to File > Options

(It should look like this if you have the right version.)
In that window that pops up go the "IRC Servers" and choose "All".
On the list under that find the DALnet server that is closest to your home our your ISP's station. Make sure it is a DALnet server.
Under that you should see a couple boxes. Where it says your full name you can enter your real full name if you are comfortable with it. Don't worry, it's not unsafe if someone knows your name =).
Under the "Full Name" box, you will see your email address box. You should enter your email address there because then if someone on AO needs to contact you easily they can. As I said before, if you don't want your email address revealed don't enter it, it's up to you.
Under the "Email Address" text box you will see a "Nickname" text box, you enter the name you want everyone to see there. The best name to put there is your AO Forums name so everyone recignizes you.
Under the "Nickname" text box there will be an "Alternative Nickname" text box. This is what you use if your name is already taken, it will automatically switch over to this.
The other stuff is irrevelevant, you don't have to fill in the other stuff. Just leave it blank unless you know what your doing.
Not done yet! When you finish doing that, go to the "Channels" button up in the top bar here.

When you get into that it should look like this:

To the right of the popup go to "Add".
When you click add this window will come up.

Where it says "Channel" put in #automags. Leave the password text box out. Where it says "Description" you can put in whatever you need to recignize the channel, this isn't required but you can put something there. In the "Network" box choose "All". The two boxes under everything are "Auto-Join Channel on Connect", and Auto-Minimize". For the first one, if you check it, everytime you connect Automags.org chat channel will automatically come up (This is what I have configured). For second one, is when you connect it can automatically minimize the Automags.org chat channel...this doesn't matter at all.
