Forums mIRC Help Slow down re-connection

My connection goes down for a few seconds,i set mirc to re-connect on disconnection. But when that happens and i get reconnected and join a channel,I'm a clone.
Is any way to put a delay before rejoining a channel ,or slow down the reconnection.thanks

if you force a Disconnection from any irc server the chances are that you will end up finding your clone as you put it .... you can use a delay but to remove all this complex jargon all you should do is a simple Quit and not a Disconnect.. i.e: just type /Quit
once you have typed /quit your connection will terminate as soon as the lag is over and you will achieve the delay youre looking for...

Not sure but i think hes saying that his Internet connection fails and that is whats causing the problem. So he is wanting to join with his normal nick but it hasnt pinged out yet.
There is a Ghost command supported by most networks.
/msg Nickserv GHOST "The Nick You Want to Recover" "Password of That Nick"
That will reclaim that nick, you could also use something like .

That would work if you put it into your remotes. What its doing is when you get this message "Nickname is already in use." it runs the Ghost command. Downfall to that is that your password is in the Remotes.

thank-you,the problem arise mostly when I'm away from machine.I get disconnected ,Mirc will try to reconnect and join channels.and there ,are my two nick names ,and now i'm what some call a clone.
How can i force mirc to shut down properly or insert a delay before reconnecting or joining channels

if i was you and if i have my computer online 24/7 with mirc running and of course we dont glue to mirc 24/7... to find a way through this problem ... i would do the following...
lets say your nick stays in #channel #channel2 and #channel3
and assume the delay for your nick ( if not registered and i dont know if the network supports ghosting) be 4 minutes...

1. type /alias /t1 /timer 0 240 /join #channel1,#channel2,#channel3
2. Alt+O >IRC > uncheck Rejoin Channels on Connect
3. Alt+O >IRC > uncheck Keep Channels Open
4. Alt+O >Options >Connect >Perform type /t1

so the next time your connection fails your channel windows will close, mirc will reconnect with the server and once connected wait for 240 seconds/4 minutes ( you can change this) and then join your channels
if you have any idea about the nick ghost/kill command on the network you join you can also add that in the on connect perform section..

i hope this trick works..

hi,when you say
1. type /alias /t1 /timer 0 240 /join #channel1,#channel2,#channel3,

where do i type it.
thanks

In the edit box, where you normally type stuff. The /alias command is an mIRC command that adds something to the Aliases section (ALT+D).

Regards,

exactly

any of the commands can be typed in any window on mirc
