For the first time, I find a new feature to be inconvenient. It takes more clicking now to connect to a new server. Does anyone else find this to be a nuisance?

I just did a comparison between the number of clicks it takes to connect to a network using a new window with mIRC 6.21 and with 6.2
There is a larger number of clicks required. A count of two (2).
Personally I don't find that to be too big of a deal, and if you connect to the same network(s) all the time, you could easily script up your connections so that they go automatically when you start mIRC. Could be done with as little as one click, depending on how your system is configured.

The part that, appears to be missing, is the Connect To option in the Server selection dialog.

I don't find it that much of a big deal.

But, you could always add this to aliases.

Code:
/newserver {
  if (!$isid) { server -n }
}


What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?

Heh, I didn't know the number of clicks changed because I always type out the /server command. I find it to be faster than going through menus/dialogs for me. smile
