One right under the other. And if I don't maximize the chatroom windw, I have noticed them coming up two in five minutes. Can anyone tell me what does it mean when a "ping pong" shows up?

Pong is where you receive apong reply from the server after sending it a ping. Sodon't be alarmed, it's mIRC and the server taking it's course. You can hide these byAlt+ O > IRC > Options > hide Ping? Pong! event. A good way to understand them so you have the right way round is. Ping? the ? is basically asking you if your connected. And the ! shouting out loudly that you are. -Andy

I was totally confused; wondered if it was showing up every time someone joined mIRC then began wondering if it happened when someone checked who was in the roon with the /who # command.
