Where as, if you use the /topic command, you get a max of 483 characters. Now I have modified my IRCd to allow for longer topic lengths, but infortunately, mirc is not equiped for that. Could this max length possibly get increased to about 500 chars next release? Thanks

Doesn't the IRCd have a limit on the mount of DATA it can take from the clients ?

My guess is that it's the IRCd that limits it...

Look at this ... this is from my debug.log file when I use the /topic command.

-> = I send
<- = Server returns

Code:

-&gt; ---server---- TOPIC #???????? :iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
&lt;- :????!?????????@???????????????.telia.com TOPIC #???????? :iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

as you can see the iiii from the first one (the /topic command) is longer then the iiii from the server.

Servername, Channel and My nick/address has been blocked. Also note that this was a bahaumut

Thus, there are 510 characters maximum allowed for the command and its parameters. There is no provision for continuation message lines. 483 characters with /topic command can be explained by looking what server returns you when topic is changed: :Nick!ident@host.com TOPIC #channel :topic Lenght of ":YourNick!ident@host.com TOPIC #channel :" is 510 - 483 = 27 characters in your case? But the channel central is definately a bug... Last edited by theRat; 30/06/03 07:33 PM. Code: //if ( khaled isgod ) echo yes \| else echo no
