Hello.

I'm using Mirc 7.43 on Windows7 with a custom timestamp:
Timestamp Events: [mmm/dd/yyyy HH:nn]

When the server disconnects, it resets all events in the log to a random date for the current month, and only displays properly once a new chat response is displayed. This is slightly annoying as it munges all past chat log entries.

What is odd is the onscreen display shows the correct timestamp after the reconnect, but the actual log file has the wrong timestamp.

For example:

From the log file:

Logs files use a different timestamp setting than the timestamp in mIRC's window, check it at alt + o > irc > logging, could that be your problem?

Hello.

Nice catch! That was the problem, I had two different timestamps, logging had: [hh:nn - mmoo mmmm, yyyy]

It's now been changed to:
[mmm/dd/yyyy HH:nn]

To match my channel logs. Thanks for the quick response!
