Forums mIRC Help Sveral questions about client setup

Hello I'm pretty new to this client. Having several questions not resolved still:

1. How can I change the sound for new message in nonactive channel from internal to custom wave file...not wanting to use defined system sound either.

2. Is that possible to change colour/or font/ of different message parts in channel view, for example time stamp in blue, nickname in green, message text in black?

3. How can I hide my IP on server that doesnot seem to support SSL nor IPv6 and not allow proxy (I've got if server supports IPv6 my address is shown in v6 format which is ok)

Thankyou very much.

Ask if the network supports vhosts and make sure your vhost is not already partially masked.
If not, look into a bouncer, which may be allowed. Ask about that too.
