Hi, how do i know if someone is talking to me in IRC? i'm asking this because i usually join 50-60 channels everytime i launch mIRC, and it would be a pain to scroll up in all those channels to see if someone has highlighted me.

I sometimes hear some kind of rings, is that it? and how do i know if someone whoising me?

Thanks in advance.

1st query: You could script a custom window, so that it displays the message when someone says your name. This has been done a fair bit.

2nd query) Unless you are an IRCop, or are on a really weird network, you can't tell when someone else performs a /whois on you.

Thanks RusselB , your help in this forum is much appreciated
