h2. Reconnect on resume from sleep

If enabled, AdiIRC will when resuming from sleep, try to reconnect all servers which was previously connected when going to sleep.

h2. Save open servers on exit and autoconnect them on next restart

_A right-click menu "Save Channel" for [[Treebar_Control|Treebar]]/[[Switchbar_Control|Switchbar]] will be available to exclude/include channels from this system._

h2. Use echo-message when available

If enabled, AdiIRC will ask to enable "IRCv3":http://ircv3.net "echo-message":http://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/echo-message-3.2.html tag on supported servers, outgoing messages will be hidden so only the echo'ed message is shown.

h2. Use STS when available

When enabled and connected to a server which supports the "IRCv3":http://ircv3.net "STS":https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/sts extension and not using "SSL/TLS":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security, AdiIRC will disconnect and reconnect using "SSL/TLS":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security. AdiIRC will continue to only connect to this server using "SSL/TLS":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security until the STS expires.

h2. Use server-time when available.

If enabled, AdiIRC will ask to enable "IRCv3":http://ircv3.net "server-time":https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/server-time tag on supported servers. AdiIRC will then display the message timestamp from when the server received the message instead of when AdiIRC received it.

This can also be enabled/disabled per server in the [[ServerList Dialog|Serverlist]].

h2. Disconnect on SASL login error

If Enabled, AdiIRC will disconnect from a server if "SASL":https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/sasl-3.2.html login was enabled and the authentication failed or the "SASL":https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/sasl-3.2.html module was removed.

h2. Always rejoin auto channel

Quit message can be added/removed from the [[Menubar_Control|Menubar]] -> Tools -> Edit Quits.

_Default quit message will be ignored._

h2. Default Encoding

If enabled and encoding is not UTF8, AdiIRC will try to decode the text with the chosen encoding and if it fails, fallback to decode with UTF8 instead.

h2. Try to regain nick

If enabled, AdiIRC will automatically try to regain your primary nick.

h2. Use serverlist group labels as network name

If enabled, the [[Serverlist Dialog|Serverlist]] label you entered will be shown in [[Treebar_Control|Treebar]]/[[Switchbar_Control|Switchbar]]/[[Titlebar Control|Titlebar]] etc instead of the network name received from the server.

h2. Track users away status

If enabled, AdiIRC will periodically try to find out which users are away or not away.

h2. Only track away on channels smaller than [X] users

Disable tracking away status for channels larger than [X] users.

On some servers, AdiIRC needs to send /who #channel periodically, doing this on large channels can cause the server to disconnect you.

h2. Send delay [X] ms

Set the delay in milliseconds between each message AdiIRC sends to the server.

Sending too much data too fast can cause the server to disconnect you.
