Description (Last modified by timothy)

There are 3 problems with build 3338 and many builds before: On irc networks with special op chars ( -@nick , and *@nick) are 2 errors:

No.1 Nick completor doesnt work if the nicks have this chars in front of the @. No. 2 If people with -@ quit on this kind of networks, the nick stays still in the nicklist, the chatter returns and his nick is 2x in the nicklist

A solution to solve problem 1 and 2 could be to add other colors (green and orange for example) for Channel OPs and Owners with the -@ and *@ for the icon in front of the nicks.

This is not fixed, I had to roll out this change in [3341]. Non-standard IRC servers are very hard to support. What server supports these ludicrous prefixes?

  • status changed from reopened to closed.
  • resolution set to wontfix.
  • component changed from Colloquy (GUI) to Chat Core (IRC).
  • description changed.

The irc.holics.net server users DreamIRCd-3.1.4-Phoenix, which does have double prefixes. These double prefixes are a complete deviation from the IRC spec. There is no way for Colloquy to support these non-standard IRC servers while correctly supporting standard IRC servers.
