(general reply - with discalimers where needed)
It's a GREAT idea to have it there. The problem is actually a simple one. Without there being some GLARING way to make it obvious to people, the people who NEED it WONT RTFM as they dont now. New users (which are also some of the most susseptable (SP?)) dont take the time to READ what the program does and doesnt do and thus any information stored in the help file is USELESS until they actually take the time to READ it. (notice I said the INFO not the USERS)
New mirc (not limited to just mirc) users DONT RTFM because:
1) a lot of it doesnt make sence until you need it and it is explained (sometimes it's best if explained by a person)
2) "it wont affect me" syndrome
3) ALL I want to do is chat so I dont NEED to read all this $hit....... hey, what's that link for? ........ oh man, I have a virus, how did that happen? Who's hacking my mirc? Holy $hit, how did that get there? What did I do??? I didnt do anything wrong, it's all MIRC's fault.
I know this sounds QUITE harsh (or even rediculous), but we know (those who have been around a while and have seen this happen time and time again) that's how it truely works. People use things they dont understand WITHOUT reading about it. Now again, I realize this is all harsh sounding and I dont mean it to be. It's simply the truth, as I see it; nothing more, nothing less.
