It is quickly picking up a huge following -- Skype [ Skype ] has added the new linktag callto:// for use in MS Windows.

mIRC should embrace this trend and make these tags clickable when entered into the chat channel.

What do you think? [ <a href="callto://critt/" target="_blank">callto://critt/</a> ] cool

and this has what bearing on mirc? i mean if u want every lil new tag added and to mircs support for clicking... well id have to say this is a bad idea ... since i dont even think <a href="irc://network/channel" target="_blank">irc://network/channel</a> works as a clickable link.

There is a working link too click for networks
<a href="irc://irc.irc.net:6667/room">irc.irc.net Port 6667 channel #room>/a>
That works


In Virginia, chickens cannot lay eggs before 8:00 a.m., and must be done before 4:00 p.m.

He meant in mIRC itself. I agree with d3m0n re: the other links - no reason why mIRC should have to provide support for a programme that doesn't return the favour with reciprocal support.

Umm "callto" first of all is not an official URL schema. Seeing as how there are dozens of official URL schemas that mIRC does NOT support, I think it would be stupid for mIRC to add some URL format introduced by some lame program.

Actually I think Microsoft introduced the [callto://] linktag with the introduction of their Netmeeting product several years ago.

Not quiet sure where you get the nine months from unless you were comparing the dates they registered on from looking at the date from the original post in the thread it has only been about 3.5 months.

Not really. I trust you to know the answer no matter how long it takes.
