If you have "show whois in active window" checked, it does not work. It diplays the "whois" in in the status window

What version of mIRC are you using? Are you using any scripts that might interfere?

Here, with 6.03, works perfecty...

Works for me too on v6.03

While you are troubleshooting your problem, you might try the following ideas:

1. Solution #1
2. /remote off to turn your scripts off for a while
3. //whois $me to see a whois on yourself in the active window

1. Solution #2
2. Rename mirc.ini to mircOLD.ini
3. Restart mIRC.
4. Start mIRC and make the change in Options to re-set Show Whois in active.

1. Solution #3

it's work to 5.92 toooooooo
hihihihih stil using 5.92 coz more fast connection on port 6667 than 6.*

I was using v6.03 when it didn't work. I went back to v6.01.

The "whois" still doesn't work. I am running mircv6.03 now with WindowsXP. If I check the box to do a /whois in active window, it still displays in the status window and not the active window.

I don't understand why this works ok in mircv6.01 for me but not in mircv6.03. Could it be a WindowsXP thing?

did u have to re download it????????

Let me make myself clearer on the whois bug. I'm talking about when a user joins my channel I want the "whois" info displayed in the active window, not in the status window as it does.

OK. That is not a bug then. It is working correctly. However, what you want to do is quite possible if you script all of the raw events yourself. Formats will vary, of course, based on IRCd (the server software that's going to send you the information. There are several possible design decisions that you could make (and might want to down the road), but as for just showing whois replies in the active window (what ever it happens to be, not where you issued the whois from), you can do something like this:

Code:

raw 311:*: echo $color(whois) -ati2 $2 is $+($3,@,$4-) | halt
raw 319:*: echo $color(whois) -ati2 $2 on $3- | halt
;  This next one is for use on DALnet.
raw 307:*: echo $color(whois) -ati2 $2- | halt
raw 301:*: echo $color(whois) -ati2 $2 is away: $3- | halt
raw 313:*: echo $color(whois) -ati2 $2- | halt
raw 317:*: echo $color(whois) -ati2 $2 has been idle $duration($3) $+ , signed on $asctime($4,ddd mmm dd hh:nn:ss) | halt
raw 318:*: echo $color(whois) -ati2 $2- | halt

I don't mean to sound like a pain, but I didn't need all that code when I was using mircv6.01. All I did in v6.01 was go to
file/options/irc and checked the box where it says "Show in active", it has several boxes you can check. I checked the "whois" box. Then when a user joined my channel, the whois info displayed in the active channel window, not in the status. I don't understand why it works ok in v6.01 but not in v6.03.

It works fine for me, did you check if any scripts you are running mite be interfering as Dana suggested?
