mIRC doesn't allow chanells which name is lagrer than 89 chars (90 with the #)
is this a bug, or a limitation?
if it's a limitation why 90?:)
and why does mIRC join and immideately part?
ain't it better just to check $len($1)?
But if it's a bug pls fix it smile

simple way to reproduce it:
//join $+($chr(35),$str(a,89)) -> this works fine
//JOIN $+($chr(35),$str(a,90)) -> see the debug output! mIRC joins and then part immediately!


And all I need now is intellectual intercourse, a soul to dig the hole much deeper

Well not really, but RFC1459 says that a channel name can be up to 200 characters. So to be fully compliant a length of at least 200 must be supported.

as codemastr said the limit is 200 (with the prefix sign included)
I beleive this is a limitation tho, cause that long channames cannot be shown on a single line on small resolutions
Anyways, it will be nice to be fixed

wouldnt that be kinda pointless if ircds dont support it to begin with? If im on one that has chanlen limited to 60 characters, i can type 200 characters all i want, or 89, and get nowhere.

Not that i know if any DO support 200 char chanlen or why anyone would want a channel name that long to begin with confused

But that's not the point, is it? Nobody said that you're likely to encounter this problem every day. Khaled won't save anybody's life if he supports everything in the RFC, he'll just make his client better smile

By the way, Undernet allows you to join channels up to 200 chars, including the # prefix. I have the feeling that other ircds support this too.


/.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com

on a side note, /msg doesn't check each target it is given. if you try to /msg a comma delimited list, it crops the full list at 60 chars... not 60 chars per target.

Ouch, that's evil smile

RFC compliance should be a goal though, and QuakeNet seems to support such long channel names as well, so it's not entirely useles...

However, if mIRC would just be RFC compliant, it would have been stuck in the stone age, the IRC RFC is just SO outdated frown
