Just out of curiousity, what's the $calc snippet you mentioned for? I don't see a relevance to the "problem"

You can't have elseif without an if.
It's like starting a sentence with "otherwise".

Despite previous indications, the upcoming Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) will be available for Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Windows Server 2003 SP1, as well as Windows XP SP2.
When Microsoft chairman Bill Gates unveiled the project two weeks ago at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, he stated that the software would become available for Windows XP only.
The improved version focuses on security enhancements, but Microsoft has given few details about the product's features. A spokesperson for the company declined to comment on features or technologies in IE7 for this article.
However, the browser's development team has shed some light on the software on Microsoft's Internet Explorer blog.
"We currently plan to make IE7 available for Windows XP SP2 and later," said a recent posting. This means that the browser will support both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.
The blog stopped short of addressing questions about support for Windows 2000 users, although the earlier statements imply that those users will not be able to use the upcoming version because they lack the security enhancements in SP2.
Next to XP, Windows 2000 is the version of the operating system with the highest number of deployments, according to Joe Wilcox, a senior analyst with Jupiter Research.
Microsoft's decision to limit IE7 to Windows versions that have SP2 makes sense, the analyst told vnunet.com.
"Microsoft has already made the decision that the security enhancements [in SP2] would be for XP only. I would expect new features in IE 7 as well, but the foundation is around security," he said.
The move also contradicts the largely held belief that Microsoft is speeding up development of IE7 purely as a response to increased competition from open source browser Firefox. Redmond has always maintained that security concerns are the major factor.
Microsoft has announced that an IE7 beta will be available in mid-2005. A final version will be released "once IE7 meets the quality standards our customers demand", the company said in an email to vnunet.com.
Wilcox expects this to be around the end of 2005 or early next year.

Personally, I'd dispise the idea of the update being available to only XP SP2 and up because I refuse to use SP2 - it's more hassle than it's worth. So what if SP2 has a few security updates; Windows (initially) made SP2 completely optional.
Although IE is not my default browser it's still run by other programs, such as mIRC and MSN Messenger. Therefore, I prefer to have my IE as secure as possible. If Microsoft are going to restrict any further updates to SP2 and up then I'm switching to either LongHorn or 2003 (not Linux or Mac because they don't support the games I play
).Microsoft, in my opinion, should stop making stupid changes to allow for new Windows users but try and keep the users they already have. As previously stated, Microft has never been no ever will be as easy to use as MACs so they should stop restricting computer-literate users. Windows 2003 was good in that aspect as it was an advancement of 2000 Advanced Server without comprimising anything.
SP2 is annoying to me - it blocks safe content that computer-literate people would be aware of anyway, such as stopping downloads unless accepted; downloads have to be accepted anyway!

A good example of version updates is available on Maxthon's history. Maxthon started at v0.1 and is currently on v1.2 with many fixes, additions and updates.

I could comment further but it's too far

Regardless of the script's content, it's only in-chat commands that you would need to change in order to make a script compatible with another server.
By that I mean that something like an MP3 player would still work as it has nothing to do with the server itself. On the other hand, a sockwrite kick command or operator commands (+a, +q, etc), for example, would require changing.
Universal commands that do not use sockwrites (eg: kick # $nick) would obviously not require changing.

Wish I had time to work on my scripting skills more frequently. Both work and college work are reducing my spare time, which is when I socialise. I should get some done within the week though as my job will be less demanding.

The scripts look good but what do the nicklist icons mean?

Just thought you might like to know that your coding wouldn't actually have a separate reason for each person. Also, your writeini command didn't actually specify a section when being written to. The snippet below is just an example...
alias addban { writeini -a banlist.ini ban $ial(* $+ $2 $+ *).addr $$3 } on *:join:#:{ if ($readini(banlist.ini,ban,$ial(* $+ $nick $+ *).addr)) { kick # $nick $nick is banlisted: $readini(banlist.ini,ban,$ial(* $+ $nick $+ *).addr) access # add deny $ial(* $+ $nick $+ *).addr access # add deny $nick } } -
I'm not a fan of huge banners advertising the script you're using but apart from that it's ok.

On Sunday Intel officially launched five new processors, the Pentium 4 600 series (which includes the 630, 640, 650 and 660 processors) and the Pentium 4 XE at 3.73 GHz. All of Intel's new processors include support for eXecute Disable (XD), AMD's x86-64 (by way of EM64T), Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology (EIST) and 2MB of L2 cache. All are based on the Prescott 2M core.
XD is a technology that helps prevent buffer overflow attacks in processors and is also supported by AMD64 processors (called NX), the Pentium 4J, Celeron J and the Itanium 2. EM64T is what Intel calls their implementation of AMD’s x86-64, and EIST is a means for changing the processors speed in order to make it run cooler. Pricing is expected to be $999 (USD) for the XE, $605 for the 660, $401 for the 650, $273 for the 640 and the 630 at $224.
Personally, I don't see why they can't just give them all (or at least most) the same name.

Try:

PORTLAND, Ore. (Reuters) - Google Inc. (Nasdaq:GOOG - news) has bought 30 acres of land from the Port Authority of The Dalles, Oregon, for a new technology infrastructure facility, the Web's No. 1 search engine said on Thursday.
The new facility would be Google's second operations outpost in the Pacific Northwest. Last November, Google opened an office in Kirkland Washington, just a few miles from the headquarters of Microsoft Corp., which recently launched a rival search engine.

Napster Inc. on Wednesday denied what it called "inaccurate statements" on the Internet that the company's new music subscription service had been hacked.
"It has come to our attention that there are a number of inaccurate statements posted by various sources on the Internet regarding the security of Napster and Napster To Go," Bill Pence, Napster's chief technology officer, said in the statement released Wednesday. "As Napster's CTO, I would like to officially state that neither Napster To Go, Napster, nor Windows Media DRM have been hacked."

Microsoft Corporation will release a new version of Internet Explorer, the world's most widely-used Internet browsing software, with new built-in security features, Chairman Bill Gates said on Tuesday.
In a speech at a major security conference here, Gates said Internet Explorer 7.0, with new anti-spyware features, will be released for preliminary testing this summer.
The move comes three years after Microsoft, the world's biggest software company, launched a major initiative to improve the reliability and security of its software, which runs on about 90 percent of all personal computers.

Personally, I don't think that it will differ greatly from 6.0, with most current anti-IE users continuing to use Firefox, Maxthon, etc.

I think this should do the job.
alias kickguest { var %kg = 1, %cc = $comchan($me,1) while (%kg <= $nick(%cc,0)) { if (> isin $nick(%cc,%kg)) { kick %cc $nick(%cc,%kg) Guest Flood Kicker | inc %kg } else { inc %kg } } }It's 1am atm and I'm real tired so the specific flooding nicks I can't code for now. Best bet's just logging a guest's name using $remove for numbers (or regex) then just compare it with each guest that joins. I reckon that'd be quite laggy though.

Personally I use mIRC to remotely control Winamp as mIRC isn't surround sound compatible. There's a very small amount of MP3 players that are (and free)

UK Hotmail
in MSN
I've found a couple of problems so far with checking my email for my UK account.
When I'm signed in to messenger and I have emails to read, the opened redirection won't accept the password automatically; I have to type it in manually. That completely defies the point of having auto sign-in.
The other problem is related to that; when I tried using MS Outlook to read my UK account it wouldn't actually access any of the data - no list of folders and no received emails.
Both of my .com hotmail addresses (one for online friends, one replaced by my UK address for people I know/want to know IRL) work fine in both instances, it's just the UK hotmail at fault.
I've tried several different ways to correct the problem (eg: signing out, removing other accounts from outlook, simple things) so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas...

Just modify the coding below to suit your player then just use a normal sclick event.
icon 1, x y W H, thisfile.ico, 0
I'm 90% sure that works but if not, the way I did the last MP3 player I made was to use the cursor's co-ords. The dialog was a single picture though.

Download an application called Wine (runs Windows apps) then use mIRC

That one you posted wouldn't ban. There are no denies in the coding

Warrior, you need to fix that second (bottom) pic. It has a width of 9375 pixels

You could always use this as a backup:
on *:join:#:{ if ($len($nick) >= 20) access $chan add deny $ial($nick).addr kick $chan $nick Nickname too long. access $chan add deny $str(?,20) $+ *!*@* } -
Kinda makes you wonder though - why charge people to use MSNChat when the same software is used elsewhere on the same site for free?
Sure, a chatroom's more likely to have people to meet in them but nothing's there to stop people joining groups.
MSN makes about as much sense as Windows with their financial decisions.

I made this up as I went along. It works (tried & tested) but it may flood out.
on 1:text:*:#:{ if ($capcheck(70,$1-) == true) { kick $chan $nick Excess caps } else { echo -a $ifmatch } } alias capcheck { if ((!$1) || ($1 !isnum)) || (!$2) { return Missing element } var %c = 65, %1 = $2- while (%c <= 90) { var %1 = $removecs(%1,$chr(%c)) inc %c } if ($calc(($len(%1) / $len($2-)) * 100) => $1) { return true } }As you can see, it currently only accounts for one line but that's easily remedied. Feel free to edit it.
