9 30 Mr. BS
<pre>/setoption Messages UseDrawText True</pre>

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:

22
/msg nickserv identify <password>
23
/sleep 3 /join #channel1,#channel2

</pre>

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

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).
