I have a friend that uses mirc. Suddenly her private messages have started appearing on the main screen, not in a private message box. I don't know how to resolve this for her, nor what caused it in the first place. Any help would be appreciated.
options (alt+o) > irc > show in active > deselect Queries
Under what you said, she doesn't have anything that says "show in active" The options under show are 1. short joins and parts, 2. user addresses and 3. Nicknames in joins
Sounds like she's gone to mIRC Options -> IRC -> Options, not just mIRC Options -> IRC.
nothing in the show in active is checked
You sure it's a message and not a notice? Can you copy it and paste it here ?
