Options - "Move to top of list on connect" - 24/05/08 07:36 PM
If you uncheck "move to top of list on connect", the recent servers list in the file menu is not updated anymore on new connections.
I don't think that option was meant to affect the recent servers feature, especially since the servers.ini has a separate section [recent] to handle that.
~edit~
The above bug exists in older versions of mIRC as well. In 6.32 however, it seems that even with that box checked, servers aren't always moved to the top of the list. This leads to mIRC sometimes trying to connect you to a server using the port range of the server you had previously selected. Try this:
- Load the default servers.ini
- In options, select a server with some open ports and click connect. I tried Starfusion (6663-6669)
- Disconnect, select a server with a smaller port range in options and click connect. I tried Absurd-IRC (6667,7000)
The 2nd server is not moved to the top of the list here, even though the box is checked. This results in connect attempts like this:
* Connecting to irc.absurd-irc.net (6665)
-
* Connect cancelled
-
* Connecting to irc.absurd-irc.net (6668)
-
* Connect cancelled
Very odd. I hope someone can reproduce this, following the steps above.
