So your advice to him is that /topic did not work for him then he should use /topic since something you read said it should work. Btw, /topic does NOT work for me on two different servers including unreald. Also not working /topic #channelname /raw /topic #channelname /raw topic #channelname And btw, let's not forget the original post complained that it did not work. At what point do you get the message it does not work and test it yourself?
