Forums Bug Reports quit message bug?

A few friends and I(on a vanilla mirc) can't get our quit messages to change using /quit whatever OR changing it in options/irc/messages either. I can do it fine in the mirc i usually use though...

Whenever we quit it shows as (Quit: nickname) instead of a message.

The only thing I saw similar during a search is this thread.

can anyone else confirm this on a clean install?

are you in channel that has set mode which prevents changeing quit messages ?

How long are you waiting before disconnecting during your tests?

Many servers have a minumum connection time before they allow you to show a custom quit message.

At least on unreal IRCD, before a custom quit can show up, you must have been connected a couple of minutes (I don't remeber the exact time period). The reason for this is to limit quit-msg abuse (spam).

thanks for all that, I had suspected it might be a server side thing for spam prevention, although i had stopped at nickserv identification. I'll bet that it's the IRCd.(it is unreal) we were probably testing too quickly.

thanks all.

I do know that on Conference Room servers they have the option to suppress quit messages.
