I'm voiced in the Karaoke, Mp3 and realm-Albums channels but can't see any ads or communicate with others (or bots). I've been in these channels for months and didn't recieve any error messages. This just happened last week. I didn't install any new software.

I do see messages like the following but don't see any user ads:

Any help?

Thanks

Nope, two reasons...

1. Your problem involved illegal file sharing
2. Your problem is not releated to mIRC, it's server or channel related

You will find similar answers from others

My problem involved illegal file sharing?

I can't imagine this, if something like this would happen, I would probably be banned. Everything I'm sharing has been downloaded from the channels.

How? please explain...

Thanks

Regardless, your problem is still not related to mIRC (unless you have some script hiding the text). Use a clean copy of mIRC if you suspect a script is the problem.

Did you ignore channel messages? Try /ignore -r

That did it.. I don't know how it happened, but /ignore -r fixed the problem. Thanks... A+
