This may have been posted previously, and it has ... my apologies. I did not locate this using a search.
When I use this command:
/aop nickname 3 #channelname (with or without the -w switch)
it adds the information correctly.. except for the channel. When I look it up in the address book, the gui shows the channel name to be where the 'Network or server address' is supposed to be. That nickname wont get Op status until I move that entry to the channel box.
