The site link in the help menu points to .co.uk but the link in the About dialog, and the link in the Introduction section of the help file both point to .com 6.21 ~ Edit ~ The site link in the help menu in 6.2 points to mirc.com and was changed in 6.21 to point to mirc.co.uk Last edited by RoCk; 14/12/06 03:18 PM.

Why else would he change it? Of course, I always just use .com to access the site... it's easier. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net

This is of corse not proof that he is english. Somewhere around version 4.5 the mirc.co.uk was made the official homepage, i dont think you can say that has changed just because other tld's have been added.

That right belongs only to the http://www.mirc.co.uk site. The site in question has been around since mIRC was created, but it is not the official site. We point to the home site for the download of the product. We have however, over the years, attempted to keep the site as current as is humanly possible. Since at one time, DALnet was the Home network for mIRC support we have always considered ourselves an official site. However we do NOT mean to imply it is the Primary, or Home site for mIRC. If you have any questions about this. feel free to ask me via a message to me here on the board. HorseC - Current founder for #mIRC on DALnet. Last edited by HorseC; 15/12/06 03:35 AM.
