The channel information
window is used for a variety of things.
These things can be performed
in other ways also, but the
channel information window
makes it simple.
Setting
the topic
.
To set or change the topic,
double left click on the main
channel window.
You will see this screen come up:
.
.
Then simply fill in the
topic line.
If you use color in the
topic, the listing in the channel list
will also show up in color.
(It won't show in color
in the topic line in the channel, however)
.
You can also set the topic
by typing
/msg
X@channels.undernet.org topic # `·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`>
#mIRC Help for the Entire Family <´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´
I've made this easier
for myself by creating some aliases that would look like this:
/topic2 /msg X@channels.undernet.org
topic # `·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`>
#mIRC Help for the Entire Family <´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´
When I see one I like,
I add it to my aliases.

Setting
Channel Modes
.
The
channel modes are as follows:
(t)=topic-set-by-ops,
(p)=private (only users presently in channel no joins (won't
show /names #)
(s)=secret (wont show in channel list)(wont show /names #)
(n)=no outside messages to #channel,
(k)=key (password),
(i)=invite (invited user only will be able to join)
(l)=limits number of people in channel,
(m)=moderated-ops-only-speak,
(+v)=lets non-ops speak in +m (moderated channel). .
To
change them, either checkmark or un-checkmark the box.
.
You
can also set and unset these modes by typing:
/mode
# +i (or whatever mode you are setting)
/mode
# -i (to unset it again)
.
Dummies
is usually has the (t) and (n) checkmarked
.
.
Bans
.
Probably
the easiest way to ban a person is to right click and use the
ban
popup. Sometimes we might ban accidentally or
at
other times, we might feel that a person has been banned long
enough.
.
In
order to unban a person who has been
banned
*not* through X, you can go to the
channel
information window and simply delete them there.
You
should generally NOT unban a person banned by another op
without
checking with them first or with girlybear or
an
administrative op.
.
You
can also ban and unban without using X by typing:
