Control Codes in Timestamp #90581 15/07/04 03:08 PM

This usually happens when mIRC is restarted, but sometimes happens anyway. A bug? Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me? Edit: Oops. Should have made this thread in "Bug Reports" really... ah well. Last edited by Nanaki; 15/07/04 03:12 PM.
