i was in a channel today and got asked how to make notices show up only in status... well i told them file..options..irc and uncheck the "Notices" in the "Show in active" box.. well they said they had and i sent him a notice.. asking if this showed in the active window.. and he said yes.. and i unchecked the checkbox and he sent me a notice and it showed in my active too... all my remotes and everything is off.. just wondering if this was a bug or a switch im missing? ? ? ?
This is what I use for notices to show in status window.
on ^1:NOTICE:*:*: {
haltdef
echo -s 9[12 $+ $nick $+ 9] 12 $+ $1- $+
}
yeah.. that was the only way i could figure out how to do it. it looks like when the checkbox in the options dialog was unchecked itd show it in the status instead of the active all the time.. and i am using 6.1 and the other guy was using 6.03 so the bugs been around
The "show notices in active window" only applies when you want the notice to be displayed in the active window. Turning it off does not default to showing the notice in the status window, it defaults to using mIRC's own internal method for notices.
If the notice was being sent to the channel, it will always appear in the channel. If the notice is sent to a user, and they are on the same channel as you, mIRC will show it in the channel window, etc.
