I've noticed this today when checking my anti-spam script.
In it I ignore private messages for a specific amount of time. The bug is in the window displaying the "Control" for type "Ignore". The amount of seconds left is always (0) until it reaches a value below or equal to 15.

Bug in 6.14, not in 6.12

Confirmed (98SE).

Also the countdown doesn't actually count down as long as the dialog is open, even if you click OK and then re-open it.

I also came across an issue where I ignore somebody for 1 second but it says 2 seconds. Reproduction (online or off doesnt matter):

//ignore -tu1 blah

Shows:

* Added blah!*@* to ignore list for 2 secs
* Removed blah!*@* from ignore list

When using the TIMESTAMP logs option under logging I show:

20:15.48 * Added blah!*@* to ignore list for 2 secs
20:15.49 * Removed blah!*@* from ignore list


notice the 1 second differential but 2 second display

setup: mirc 6.14 on win2kpro sp3

Zed & Starbucks - neither can be reproduced here

Both work fine here. I did a simple //ignore -tu35 $me, opened the control dialog and saw it show 30+ seconds (by the time I got to it). I double clicked it to double check the dropdown box and it showed an accurate time. Also, I closed the window completely, reopened it, and saw at least 15+ seconds had passed (which is true if you count the time the window itself was opened) and it displayed (at least in the generic control box - I did NOT double click on it this time) the correct time. it also removed the ignore at the proper time as well

Weird, wouldn't have thought would be affected by Windows OS... I'll just demonstrate (via some shoddy illustratration) to show I'm not mad when I say it happens here:







As you can see, I set an ignore with -tu30 and the dialog shows [0].







I managed to open it again just in time, and as you can see it now displays [1] where 29 seconds have passed.

6.14/XP Pro.

lol You might be Mentality but I DONT think you're mental dude smile I believe you when you say it's happening cause it sounds familiar to me as well tho I cannot recall the conditions of previous issues I had with it (tho I MAY have posted said issues before)

FYI Mentality, i just noticed that this happened to me too (as well as me not confirming it before). Never noticed it before now I guess. Oh well, another confirmation to this thread smile
