This may seem like a stupid question, but I've been scratching my head over this one, How do you change the display while in a room from <nick> to (nick) or anything else.
For Example

[9/9/04} <nick> blah blah

on ^*:text:*:#:{
echo -tm $chan ( $+ $nick $+ ) $1-
haltdef
}

In addition, you may want to read this thread for some more information and more suggestions.

Regards,

ok I used the code
but it disabled the colors I used for my friends so I could keep up with them easier. What would I use to enable this feature again?
