But i still would like to make a few suggestions. 1: It would be nice to have something like an identifier that would pause a script from executing for a given amount of time. It came to me when i was scripting from an ON JOIN event and wanted to check the status of the nick in the channel. now since noone has a status on and on join i used an alias to get round it. but it would be nice to have something that will pause a script for a given amount of time and then check the IF statements etc. 2: It would be nice to have something like an ON *:PROTECT:#: mIRC has everything eg on voice,on op ,on help etc even on owner why not somethink for a +a i am aware that ON mode exists but i still think it would be a nice addition 3:i also think it would be great if there was an auto hide option on the menu bar at the top so only if one would hover ones mouse over it then it would show up. I really do think it would improve the GUI that some people find reason to complain about. I am aware that all the above is scriptable even the last with the right DLL's etc Thank-You Newbie

Anyway, timers are an ugly solution and that alias you've given requires COM to be enabled in mIRC and the Windows Scripting Host to be enabled on the system. A built-in command would be a lot handier. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

Not sure I like this idea. First off, never seen it in practice. Secondly, it's only 25-30 pixels in height (usually)... What are you going to shrink it to, 5? Something needs to be visible (unless transparent) for you to hover the mouse over. Now, this suggestion for the treebar is a GREAT idea (except, popping up the treebar over the MDI area and hiding when the mouse focus is lost. What I would like to see is script based way to remove the menubar and title bar, then place mIRC in to "full-screen mode", and the reverse. NaquadaBomb www.mirc-dll.com

How would you handle excessive lag or outside clients dropping offline?
