I know this is an ancient issue, but I just want to remind the forum that there are still many people displeased with it... some who even refuse to upgrade until it has been reversed.

I'm talking about the *** event prefix that was neutered to one star.

This not only seems like an unnecessary change (if it aint broke don't fix it), but it confuses /me actions with other channel events (especially in colorless logs) which even has forced me to make significant changes to my /grep script. It must be hell for Log Stats programs to differentiate the two aswell.

Yes, I know that I can script around this. I would, except that you're talking about EVERY event, including events that cannot be halted and changed. My only option would be to edit the event strings using Res Hacker, thus violating mIRC's user agreement.

I'm suprised only one other post is archived which voices opinion on this change, but I'm guessing the bulk of them died on the old forum.

This has been single most 'bug' that has kept me from upgrading for so long, and now that I have I'm having serious second thoughts.

Please switch it back.

Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
