If u /hop in a channel mirc doesn't set the IAL for your nick for some reason, but if u do it manually by /parting the channel and then /joining it works fine
e.g. type /hop in the channel and when u rejoined //echo -a $ial($me) and it won't work
then type //part # | raw join # and when u rejoined //echo -a $ial($me) and it will work

Can't reproduce using 6.12

qwerty: did that .. I even cleared the ial and
then hopped .. still couldn't reproduce it.

You need to test this by being on only one channel, otherwise your entry will already be on the IAL.

I could reproduce it here.
Did you try it the remotes off? (just a default checking really :tongue: )

I reproduced it here too .. I forgot about /who on join
so I disabled remotes and tried and got it .. thx cold
