If you ever experience an issue with displaying unicode characters (which is not just an encoding issue), try enable [[Options_Dialog|Options]] -> [[Messages_Options|Messages]] -> [[Messages_Options#Use-alternative-text-rendering|Use alternative text rendering]].

h2. How do I auth/identify before I join
14
15 32 Per Amundsen
If you need to be authed with nickserv before joining a channel, you can use the [[/sleep]] (or [[/timer]]) command in your [[Serverlist Dialog|Serverlist]] "Run these commands on connect" field:
16 1 Ken Spencer
17
<pre>
18
/msg nickserv identify <password>
19
/sleep 3 /join #channel1,#channel2
20
</pre>
21
22
/sleep 3, means wait 3 seconds before running the following command.
23
24 35 Mr. BS
_The new [[Serverlist Dialog|Serverlist]] has this feature built-in as well as "SASL":http://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/sasl-3.1.html support which makes this a non issue._

124

128 34 Mr. BS
129 37 Mr. BS
h2. Why is 'connecting' slow on some networks
130
131 35 Mr. BS
Some networks tries to scan your port 113 to see if you have a [[Identd]] server running, if the port is closed or the identd server is not running, it can take a while for the scan to timeout, make sure [[Identd]] server is enabled in [[Options_Dialog|Options]] -> [[Server_Options|Server]] and that port 113 is open in your firewall and router. (AdiIRC does not yet support "UPNP":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play).

h2. How do I move the monitors to their own window
136
137 1 Ken Spencer
When "Lock Bars" is disabled (right click any menubar/toolbar/switchbar/statusbar/treebar to enable/disable) you can left-click the header of the monitor panel or a tab and move it with the mouse, if you release the mouse in the middle of the AdiIRC main window, the monitor will become a standalone window.
138
139
The window can be docked inside AdiIRC as a regular channel window by pressing CTRL + D.
140
141
_See also [[Monitor Panels]]._
142
143
You can also undock the monitor panel into a window by right-clicking the header or tab and choose "Undock".

160

No, I use .NET because its fast, easy and it has large libraries which enables me to code much more in less time. On a side note, from Windows Vista, .NET is included in Windows per default. -- kr0n

190
191 35 Mr. BS
Nothing really. It's an old prefix used for some other projects many years ago, and the prefix just carried over to this irc client. Original it was derived from the song A.D.I.D.A.S by the band KoRn. According to some it could stand for All Day I IRC :P -- kr0n

h2. Why does task manager show high memory usage for AdiIRC
223
224 35 Mr. BS
The task manager numbers are not the actual memory usage, the .NET framework which runs AdiIRC is like a little OS inside Windows, it allocates memory as needed and free it as needed, just like windows does, there are no such thing as a memory leak in .NET applications, except in very specific cases.
225
226 43 Per Amundsen
To show the real memory usage, you can type [[/gcmem]] in the [[Editbox Control|Editbox]].

There is no "OTR":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-Record_Messaging support in AdiIRC and no plans to add it, however it is possible for someone to add OTR support through a [[Plugins|Plugin]] or a [[Scripting_DLL|DLL]]. (As an example, check the [[blowfish]] DLL)

263
AdiIRC seems to generate a lot of false positives in some antivirus programs, if possible, please submit the file to your antivirus vendor for false positive analyzes and/or white-list AdiIRC.exe.
264
265
If you are unsure, the false positives seems to be resolved after a few weeks, you can try update again then.

293
For now a little scripting is needed, the script editor can be opened from Menubar -> Tools -> [[Edit Scripts]].
294
295
The [[on TEXT]] event can be used to listen for specific messages on specific/all channels:
296
297
*Example*
298
299
<pre>
300
; Ignore all messages containing badword on all channels.
301
on ^*:TEXT:*badword*:*:halt
302
303
; Ignore all messages starting with !badword on a specific channel.
304
on ^*:TEXT:!badword*:#channel:halt

h2. How do I sort/re-order windows in the Treebar/Switchbar?
329

There is a window priority system in [[Options_Dialog|Options]] -> [[Windows Options|Windows]] - [[Windows_Options#Window-Order|Window Order]], simply add the name of the channel or the network name you want to have a higher priority, higher up items have higher priority.
