Forums Feature Suggestions Application Data problems

The last few versions of mIRC have placed the script and configuration files in an Application Data folder, and because of this many of my scripts from previous installations will not load correctly or function. It would be nice to have a choice to install it the old way (in whatever folder you choose) or in Application Data. It's very frustrating the way it is now and many other users I've talked to have agreed.

Technically there's no reason a well-coded script making proper use of $scriptdir, $mircdir, and $mircini should have any problems with the new defaults so ideally you should contact the author of the script about fixing it.

In the meantime mIRC already does support the old method - simply create a file called mirc.ini in the same folder as mirc.exe and mIRC will go back to the old behaviour (the mirc.ini can be an empty file, mIRC will auto-create the default settings).
