Tips

Unicode

If you ever experience an issue with displaying unicode characters (which is not just an encoding issue), try type:

/setoption Messages UseDrawText True

This will enable a different method for drawing messages.

To disable, type:

/setoption Messages UseDrawText False

Auth before joining a channel

If you need to be authed with nickserv before joining a channel, you can use the /sleep (or /timer) command in your serverlist "Run these commands on connect" field:

/msg nickserv identify <password>
/sleep 3 /join #channel1,#channel2

/sleep 3, means wait 3 seconds before running the following command.

The new serverlist has this feature built-in as well as SASL support which makes this a non issue.

Copy text from message buffer

When you select text from the message buffer, AdiIRC will automatically copy the text to the clipboard when you release the left mouse button.

If you prefer to manually press CTRL + C, you can go to Options -> Messages and disable AutoCopy selected text to clipboard and AutoFocus editbox.

These options might be merged into one soon as well as a feature to ask which method to use.

Problem connecting to TLS servers

If you experience problems connecting to a TLS only server, you can try the .NET 4.5 version which has support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2.

Disable or changing CTCP VERSION reply
