Hello.

I think a good idea to insert a lagbar or lag&ram bar.

Do you think about it ?

They may be very useful..

Don't need the bars.

Code:
alias lag .raw PING $ticks
on *:pong:{ echo -a $calc(($ticks - $2) / 1000) }

This will work for lag checking.

As far as RAM checking, you can use a DLL, or a COM object, to retrieve that info.

Think he means some in-build/default GUI feature, not a way to measure the lag with scripted means...
I don't see any general benefit from a ram-bar at all; but a lagbar could be usefull - yet I don't know where it could be placed by default smile

well, I already know as to create a lag/ram bar witch a DLL o another.

But I want only suggest you this feature in the new versions of mIRC in future per comfort, because I find it a thing very useful..

This would be a 'feature' that I'd turn off at the earliest opportunity.

I find such things useless, and annoying.

In the place I've marked in this image would work fine. Of course there'd be an option to hide it...but its not quite fair to just not put it in. Everyone has their own needs, and some people like to know if their computer is lagging. I know I do.

Note: "this image" is a link directly to the image.

Why not? There are requests almost daily that never see the light of day. I highly doubt this would ever be added. Things like this is why there is scripting.

If you know how to script it or make a dll, do so. Why does it have to be included with mIRC by default? Is this really something that every user *needs*? Surely not for knowing your RAM usage.. that would be as random and irrelevant to IRC as iTunes telling you the weather.
