I am pretty sure years ago mIRC use to have an idle time when you did the /whois command. I really would find this useful and wonder if I am the only one missing it?

Thx

it's a raw reply. If your normal /whois output doesn't show it, try /whois nick nick to get it to show the idle time. Example:

/whois landonsandor landonsandor

Then just manipulate the raw output (/debug on will help with that )

well thank you very much...just tried it and it worked

glad to be of help

You can also change this to be the default behavior for certain actions in 'mIRC Options > Mouse' if you wish, by changing the '/whois $$1' to '/whois $$1 $$1' in the appropriate places.

well this is beyond my knowledge unless you can tell me exacty where to change it and to what

You might also want to try my Whois Dialog It has the network idle time displayed as default, and if you select a specific channel, then it shows the idle time for that channel (presuming both are on the specified channel).

thank you and I did check out your script. I just would not know what to do with it

There are all kinds of ways of using that script. The details are listed in the Author's Notes section.
Just use it in place of the /whois command (you can even use it from the command line using the /who2 command).

I tried to make it foolproof, and, so far, I haven't had any problems reported since the last update (ie: Nov. 6, 2006).

If you are having trouble using my script, join #[s]cript on the irc.maximum-irc.com network and I'll be happy to assist.

I actually figured it out myself I copied your script in the mIRC script Editor > Remote and use the /who2 command wow looks great..thank you
