I have mIRC set up to open/join all these channels when I start up the program, so they open in the same way each time. I usually go to #newsroom and leave it there. Sometimes I'll notice the name of a room flashing, I assume that's when there is a new message in that room. But it doesn't switch to that room when that happens.

What's been occurring happens after I switch to another window /program on my computer, and especially when I do that and then go away from this computer for a while. I come back and switch to mIRC and instead of #newsroom being open (as it was when I left mIRC), a different room will be open(at the front). I doesn't happen every time, but it happens often enough to be annoying.

I'm using mIRC 7.1 and Windows 2000.
