Forums mIRC Help login on

When i logon i remain in the status window the channel windows do not open auto, what do i have to set to get this to happen thanx

From what I understand:
1. If you want to automatically join a channel when you connect, you may include a /join #channel line under your perform options (Connect > Options > Perform)
2. If you want the Favorites list to pop up when you connect to a server, go to Favorites > More... > and check the "Pop up favorites on connect" box

Hope it helps.

In peace and good thoughts,

There are a couple of methods you could use to automatically join channels when you connect to IRC.

Firstly, mIRC has a built in 'Perform' section in it's options - this section will automatically perform commands when you connect. To access it, go to:

ALT+O > Connect > Options > [Perform...].

In the white box put the /join command and then check the box at the top so Perform is enabled. To join multiple channels, specify /join #channel,#channel2,#channel3 and so on.

You can also do this via scripting although it's unnecessary due to the Perform section. You may like to see this thread for som examples.

Hope this helps.

Don't forget about the channels dialog mentality! ;d

See how to access it here.

i have my perform comands set up ie #join etc and i do join the channels selected, but i now have to left click on them to access them. where as before in ver 603 when i logged on i would end up in the last room in my join list not in the status window. hope i am making sence. thanx

That is odd behaviour, when you join channels with Perform it should make the most recently joined channel active. Do you have any scripts loaded? Does this happen in a fresh install of mIRC?

Thanks Chris, yes i do have 2 scrips running omenserv 2.40 and autoget v7. when i was using mirc 603 i used spr could this have something to do with my problem. again thanx ian

The only thing I can suggest to determine if it's a script or not is uninstall the scripts from your mIRC or install a fresh new mIRC from this page and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, then it's the script's fault and you'll have to take the issue up with the script authors.
