Thanks Collective for being very helpful, I'll try that out (on a different computer now, will have to try later).
Thanks LocutusofBorg for not being any help at all. I mentioned I was using a script just in case that WAS the problem. If I ruled it out do you think I would have mentioned it? Besides, changing the timestamp in mIRC worked for messages but nothing else, I thought was odd behavior. If it hadn't worked at all I would have messed with the script right away. Anyway, thanks again for not saying anything constructive.
However, Alyson Hannigan is hot!
