maybe these 2 lil notes will help you out

Code:
on *:SNOTICE:*Client connecting at*: { 
  echo -a  14«8×14»15«0»-. /¯(14 $8 has just connected from: $7 0 )¯\ .-«15»14«8×15» 
}

on *:SNOTICE:*Client connecting on*: { 
  echo -a  14«8×14»15«0»-. /¯(14 $9 has just connected from: $nick  0)¯\ .-«15»14«8×15» 
}


thats something i used in an Unreal ircd setup to see my client connects differnetly than mirc displayed, maybe that will give u a lil idea, or maybe not

alternativly, if u dont tell it where to echo to, its not going to popup a window so to make yours echo to a window named SNOTICE id change your code to something like this:


Code:
on *:SNOTICE:*connecting*: {  
  if $window(@snotice) == $null { window @SNOTICE | echo 12 -ti5 $1- }
  else { echo 12 -ti5 @SNOTICE $1- }
}


you dont need to specify all the number if u put a trailing - after the $1, unless for some reason u want to change the order of the text, but really it doesnt look like u need to. try that one i just dhowed u and see if that works for you. If not let me know and i can come up with something else, keep in mind u also have to creat that window before writting to it, thats why u need to check if its open before echoing to it, otherwise it echos to regularly open window.
