You're better off writing a script for that and joining when you receive the event; that's much more efficient and responsive. However, delayed join can be useful for people on large amounts of large channels, as this tends to flood them off. In that case, however, you can always use /timer in an ON CONNECT or perform tab (just not in favorites), so it's not really necessary. - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"

Each timer executes one command here, you don't need to name them Looking for a good help channel about mIRC? Check #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net

Example: /join #$me vs /timer 1 1 join #$me Because #$somehting makes up a valid channel name you have to prevent this evaluation. If you don't, everything from nuisance to exploit is possible... You might use a $safe() alias to prevent that evaluation. Some time ago, I fiddled with a related request - maybe some parts are of use here as well, like the method to store the name of the channel-to-join not in the timer's command part but in its name.
