I reckon you use unrealircd right? First i would detect for the country when they connect to the ircd and store that along with the nick so when they join channel you check against that and echo it to yourself to check if it's proper, the only thing is when they change nick before joining channels that might not work or you have to find a solution for that scenario to work as well.

It's called an extended ban, since it's account based perhaps the IRCV3 account tag can be used for that but i haven't used it before myself so i can't tell you how to do that.

thanks for a detailed insight into the issue!
well, i don't know, i'm back at v7.82 and it displays fine as in chat prompt, so in chat window.
i've no idea why MSwindows decided to treat that chat prompt encoding differently in v7.83 and v7.84, but that's what it is.. O_o

You can use /log off <channel>

/help /log

It did! I feel exceedingly dumb at the moment, but connected! I have used mIRC since 2003, I swore there used to be a check box for SSL xD But things change and now I will be making a mental note about the (+) for future. Thank you!

Thanks for your bug report. This is standard Windows combo-box behaviour :-)

Thanks, this is the usual post-release issue where security vendors need to update their virus definition files. It happens with every new release. Seeing only three security vendors with false-positives is actually quite good on a new release.

A bigger issue is Microsoft's SmartScreen, which depends on reputation. Windows will literally need to see a file in wide use and declared as safe by enough people to accept that it is a safe file. mIRC users can click feedback to submit feedback to Microsoft.

This new release uses Microsoft Azure Artifact Signing to sign the executable and, from what I understand, consistent use of this will contribute to SmartScreen reputation over time. So hopefully this will make future releases retain reputation.

For users that report this:

If you have recently downloaded the latest version of mIRC from the official mIRC webstite, and you are seeing a warning from a security vendor, this is usually due to a false-positive which happens when an anti-virus company updates their virus definition files without checking them properly or is slow to update them after a new release of mIRC.

The result is that the anti-virus software starts incorrectly detecting some applications or files as trojans or viruses. Unfortunately this happens all the time. You would need to contact your anti-virus software company to report the issue and to ask them for a solution. They should then correct the error in the next update of their virus definition files and should be able to tell you how to prevent their software from behaving this way in the meantime.

In addition, some anti-virus applications are more sensitive to IRC applications than others and will actively block/delete their files. You would need to add mIRC to their exclusion list to get around this. If that does not work, you would need to contact the anti-virus company for help.

You could also try uploading your mirc.exe to https://www.virustotal.com to check it. There will usually always be a small number of security vendors that think a file has a virus/trojan, especially after a new release, but this is usually resolved by them after some time.

Hi I suggest to add a feature, An arrow icon to go to the bottom of the page (same function as ctrl+end keys) , also an arrow to go to the top of the page of the channels.
Thank you
