Thx, Gwion

It does not do anything .. but I get a msg: /timer: invalid parameters (line 3, checknick) It looks like this now: alias /CheckNick { if (($me != Nick1) \|\| ($me != Nick2) \|\| (Guest isin $me)) nick Nick2 if (!$timer(CheckNick)) .timer CheckNick 0 300 CheckNick} Sorry .. what am I making wrong? In the perform window I wrote alais CheckNick Wondering a bit since I thought it must be something like /command Gwion
