hello all, i am sorry if this has been brought up before, but I am racking my brain trying to figure it out.

when someone makes a very long statment in the chat box, it is cut off, the end of it anyway, it only allows messages to a certian length, how can I make it show the entire thing? and not cut it off?

You don't. This is one of those limitations you don't really get around. If you want to paste more than the allowed number of characters, you will have to split it up.

Well it's not a case of mIRC cutting them off for no reason. The IRC protocol allows only a maximum message length of 512 bytes (remember some of that is used up in the command/target for the message to be sent, so the maximum text length will be smaller than 512 bytes).


Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.
