Forums mIRC Help how to disable private messaging?

I read that if you wanted to disable the pm, to go to file and then options. The problem is that when I go into file... there are no options. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

To ignore query messages (they open a query window, or PM window) then you can use the /ignore command:

/ignore -p *

This will block ANYONE from private messaging you. If you also wish to block notices (which, by default, are brown messages that either appear in the active window or Status window, and do not open a separate window), then use:

/ignore -pn *

For more help on the /ignore command type /help /ignore in mIRC.

I don't know why you were instructed to go to mIRC options - whilst there are options there that alter how private messages are displayed, I don't know of any options which actually block you receiving private messages.

Happy chattin'

Regards,

if you want to disable pms, you can try:

(ignores private) /ignore -wp *!*@*
(ignores notice) /ignore -wn *!*@*
(ignores dccs (will also include gets as well)) /ignore -wd *!*@*

you can also do combinations such as /ignore -wpdn *!*@*

EDITED

DAMN Mentality you're fast lol

lol, I do try! <g>

Regards,

In addition, if your network supports it you can use a usermode, +p on mine.

Going to Options -> DCC will bring up an option allowing you to ignore all DCC CHAT requests - is this what you were thinking of? If so, it applies only to DCC private chats, not to private messages in general (see other posts in this thread).
