You can do two things: goto www.mirc.com and click on the "forums" link make a shortcut in your favorites/bookmarks.

um, couldnt you have just said click on Help then on message board rather than posting a huge thing with your script prominantly displayed? Please take pity on those of us with slow connections who have to sit and wait for that to load

...and those that do not wish to be spammed, because quite frankly that was the obvious intent of that ridiculous screenshot attachment.

The point was it doesn't. There are plenty of ways to easily access the forums. We have told you three ways. If you don't wanna use either of em but insist on someone else making it easier for you, that's just plain laziness on your part.

Whether you are going to release the script or not the picture still has your web site url in it that has other scripts on it so the term spam fits.

Also has his IP >:P
I do kind of agree, as an image of that size (including complete script and desktop) is not called for. Simply cropping th eimage to outline to point of a menu, or even expresing the menu in plain text (I know, its old school) would have been fine.
3) Go to the help menu, and click on Message board
Something of that sorts. Not only is the image large in space expanding everyone's browser, but also is large in size for those who don't have a neat broadband connection. personally, I think you could have lost the image and said it with text. but thats just me I guess.

MY point was that its large, takes forever to load on slow connections, and wasnt necessary. While sometimes a picture can show something far better than words, i dont think thats true in this case. If nothing else, you could have shown it from mIRC's help, and cropped the image a lot, removing all the irrelevant bits. altho imo, words would have been more than sufficient in this case. I think you can hardly fault those that feel spam or displaying your script may have been behind your reasoning in spite of your sig.

*sigh* Why must I get so picky. Lets put it this way, the iomage of that size, including (but not limited to) your entire (opera?) internet browser window, start menu, whole scew of installed applications listed in quick lanch toolbar, and complete mirc window is not needed. Additionally, if the script is meant jsut for you, as you above mentoned, why is you must be reminding its your scripts by placing logos about the window? Perhaps early alzheimers?
The main point I am stressing is the image did not needto be of that size, nor even existant for that matter. We all don't need to see your entire 800x600 desktop in order to conclude there is a link in the help menu.

The funny part is you can't argue my points so stoop to the little points so you don't look too idiotic. I don't give a crap what browser. I also have 1600x1200, so gaging a smaller resultion is trivial to me. As for your "about window" comment, your comprehension skills need work. About, in this context, means "all around".
