I searched the board and didn't see this problem posted, so I wanted to bring it up here and see if this is in fact a problem:

I have tested out this problem with both my customized version mIRC and a brand new copy downloaded from this site and I seem to be getting the same problem.

Under the Options > IRC > Show In Active menu, I have Whoises set to Show in ACTIVE.
In my remotes, I have on 1:JOIN:#Test:whois $nick

The whois shows up, but only in my server window and not in my active channel window (#Test).

I think your problem lies here, from the help file:

Show whois in active window
Shows /whois results in the channel, query/chat, or custom windows if it is turned on and if a /whois is issued inside one of these windows, otherwise all /whois results are shown in the status window.

When the /WHOIS command is sent, it's not being sent from within the channel and as said above if it's not being sent via the channel, query/chat or custom windows results will appear in the status.

BTW: I am using mIRC v6.16.

As far as I know, this was not programmed like that in any previous version. Regardless, I'm sure a good number of users would like to see it changed back to show whoises in active when using remotes.

I dont beleive its ever displayed in the active window, but rather in the window it was called from.

to produce the same effect you want.,

click on the icon in the top left corner of the #test window, then select editbox, then enable editbox, finally take the bar intersection the type in box in the channel and drag it to the far right as it well go. Scrren now looks pretty much like it used to, except for the small bar on the right.

Now add this remote.

on *:JOIN:#Test:{ .timer 1 0 editbox -no $chan $editbox($chan,1) | editbox -no $chan /whois $nick }

Try using:

on me:*:join:#test: whois $nick

Debug: That would only work one time, when you ($me) joined #test. I got the impression that they wanted it to work whenever someone joined their channel.

Debug, try using:

On !*:Join:#test: { whois $nick }

Why you would want to only whois yourself is beyond me..

Are you using a theme engine (KTE) in your scripts that you are attempting the /whois command with?

I have that in my remotes right now, and seem to be getting it only in my Status window, not in the active window (which by the way, YES i have /whoises set to active-- so that cant be the problem either).

You guys try it, the remote wont post in the active window-- even though I have directed mIRC to do so. In previous versions of mIRC, this was not a problem.

works properly here (shows in active window)
