Secure your name on mIRC

[Jinc]

As any mIRC user will know, if you disconnect from a server, your name (or 'nick') is open to be taken and used by other users in any channel. This means if you rejoin the server at a later date, it could be in use.

This piece of code will enable you to keep your name. Also, if your name is changed it will automatically revert back to the name you choose.
Remember, your nick is relevant for the whole server, not just a single channel.

You need the latest version of mIRC.
Go to Tools -> Scripts Editor -> and then click on the 'Remote' tab.

Copy this into the script box:


on *:unotify: {
if ($nick = Yournamesgoeshere) {
nick $nick
}
}


Press 'Ok', restart mIRC and test it out by trying to change your nick using the /nick command. :)

Enjoy

You could just register it?

Also leaving the spaces at start doesnt make a difference, it automatically sorts them..

Registering costs money, does it not? :|

No, to register the mIRC product does, but to register your name with a server doesn't

I thought that was only if the server provides the NickServ bot. Then you can use the command:
/msg nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL

Then identify with
/msg nickserv identify PASSWORD

you cant do that on all irc networks i.e efnet
