If this is selected, your nickname
will prefix any messages you type in a channel/query/chat.
Iconify query window...
If someone sends you a query,
the default is for the query window to open, ready for input. You can select
this option to force mIRC to iconify the window preventing it from taking
the focus from the window you are currently in.
Dedicated query window...
This directs all private messages
or notices from other users to one single message window. You will need
to use the /msg command to reply. If you want to open a query window to
a user, use the /query window.
Whois on query...
Select this to have mIRC do
a /whois nickname on any person that sends you a private message. The /whois
will be done the first time the query window is opened.
Auto-join on invite...
This will make you automatically
join a channel when you are invited to it. mIRC will also try to minimize
the window, however this might not always work.
Rejoin channel when kicked...
If you are kicked from a channel,
mIRC will immediately try to rejoin the same channel. It won't close the
channel window unless it finds that you can't rejoin the channel.
Cancel away on keypress...
If you set yourself as away
(using /away ) then selecting this option cancels the away
option automatically if you type a message to a channel or a query/chat
window.
Timestamp events...
This will prefix most events
with the time of their occurrence.
Skip MOTD on connect...
This makes mIRC hide any MOTD
information which the server sends you when you first connect to it.
Show Alternate Join/Part/Quit...
Checking this option makes
mIRC display the join, part, and quit messages in a different, more compact
format.
Show user addresses...
Whenever a user joins/parts/quits/is
kicked/etc. from a channel, you can choose to see their address by selecting
this option.
Show quits in channel...
Normally if a user on the same
channel as you quits IRC, this message is only printed in the status window.
If you want the quit message to be printed in the channel window as well
then select this option.
Show joins/parts in channel...
You can turn off this option
if you are on channels that are very crowded and your channel window is
filling up with joins and parts. The joins and parts will instead be sent
to the status window.
Show invites in active window...
If this setting is turned off
then invite messages will appear in the status window.
Show modes in channel...
Normally all mode changes are
shown in a channel window but you can turn this option off to dump these
to the status window.
Show queries in active window...
This shows all queries in the
active channel window instead of opening up a query window. However, if
you are not in a channel window, a query window will be opened.
Show topics in channel...
This shows the channel topic
in a channel when you first join it if it is turned on, otherwise the channel
topic is displayed in the status window.
Strip Codes...
This allows you to strip out
the Bold, Underline, Reverse, and Colour codes from incoming private messages
or channel messages.
