Forums mIRC Help chat window refuses to remain minimised

Whenever I have more than one chat going on, and I try to click the second chat window, mIRC returns automatically to the first chat window, which means that i can't type in the second chat window at all!

is this because i chose the wrong options for something? (i've tried clicking 'desktop', etc, but even when the chat windows are popped out, the same thing happens. and the 'on top' option doesn't solve my problem either)

It sounds like you have a script causing you problems. I'd check there first.

hi riamus2, thanks for your reply!

but... i haven't done anything to the scripts since i installed mirc, as far as i'm aware...

all i did was to put in some auto-perform stuff (like, to let me connect automatically when i log in), under the options -> perform... section.

/nick my_nick
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY my_password
/timer 0 3 /join channel that i join automatically

under 'scripts editor', this is what i have:
Aliases:
/op /mode # +ooo $$1 $2 $3
/dop /mode # -ooo $$1 $2 $3
/j /join #$$1 $2-
/p /part #
/n /names #$$1
/w /whois $$1
/k /kick # $$1 $2-
/q /query $$1
/send /dcc send $1 $2
/chat /dcc chat $1
/ping /ctcp $$1 ping
/s /server $$1-

It's my first time using mirc, and i have no idea what all these mean/do, so i don't think i've changed them at all :$

The first number in the /timer command is for repetitions, the second number for the delay. Now, "0" repetitions means: infinite repetitions.
Replace that "0" with a "1" (to execute the /join command only once after 3 seconds), then restart mIRC - and you should be fine.

oh yay!!! thanks so much! lol.. i really have no idea how to use all these scripts and stuff, so i'm just copy-pasting stuff that i find from google, without really understanding what they do lol!

thanks so much, it works perfectly fine now!
