So I've been trying to make the chat more readable in mIRC and decided that adding automatic nick colours as well as bold nicks would help. Now, I've looked around and found a script for the automatic nick colours which is:
on ^*:TEXT:*:#:if (!$cnick($nick)) cnick -m1 $nick $rand(1,16)
My problem is I can't find/don't know how to create a script for making all nicks bold in chat while also maintaining the nick colours. Any help with this would be very much appreciated!

You would have to edit the text in the channel to do that - hide everything that appears in the channel and display it in a custom way. There isn't any built-in bold for nicks the way there is built-in color for nicks.
Btw, you don't need ^ on the script you pasted.

Please excuse my noobiness but I'm not exactly sure how to do what you're asking. If you could explain more in-depth I'd be very grateful.
Also I found a script on this page which makes all nicks bold but they are only black, it doesn't allow nick colours at the same time:
http://crrpg.com/forums/mirc-scripts/%28bobbold%29-bold-nicks-%28ingame-nicks-and-irc-nicks%29/
Not sure if there is something I'd need to alter in the script to make it function the way I'd want it to.

You need to halt the default text in the channel.
on *:text:*:#: {
; first halt the default text in the channel.
haltdef
; now echo to the channel what we want to see.
echo -mt $nick >> $1-
}
Untested, just added it as an example, if you want to halt your own text, take a look at: /help on input
if ($me != tired) { return } | else { echo -a Get a pot of coffee now $+($me,.) }

I tried the script out but it doesn't make the nicks bold. It only adds the text to the status window.

You need to use the BOLD sign, CTRL + B will return a sign for you. Same goes for the color, CTRL + K.
on *:text:*:#: {
haltdef
; replace COLOR with the CTRL + K sign.
; You press CTRL and K at the same time.
; The 04 will return red color.
; Replace BOLD with the bold sign.
; Press CTRL + B at the same time.
echo -mt $+(COLOR,04,BOLD,$nick,BOLD,COLOR) >> $1-
}
if ($me != tired) { return } | else { echo -a Get a pot of coffee now $+($me,.) }

So what happens now is the text is added to the status window and it appears in bold in whatever colour i choose. The script doesn't actually change anything in the channel window which is ultimately what I'd like.
Also my goal is for it to assign a random colour instead of just choosing one colour for every nick.

The color and bold codes are embedded in this text even though you cannot see them on the forum, copy this text into your remote editor. on ^*:text:*:#:{
if (!$cnick($nick)) cnick -m1 $nick $rand(1,16)
echo -itmlbf # $+(<,$cnick($nick).color,$left($remove($nick(#,$nick).pnick,$nick),1),$nick,>) $1-
haltdef
}

Thank you very, very much. Works like a charm.
I've also been wondering if it's possible to make the timestamp bold and 1 colour. I have no idea how to do this, does anybody have a script that could do this?

Just set that in the options. Options > IRC > Messages > Timestamp
It looks like you can't enter the control codes in the textbox itself, but you can paste them in. Just type whatever you want it to be in the editbox and then paste it in the options.
ctrl+b ctrl+k 12[hh:nn:ss] ctrl+k ctrl+b
