-Q: Why doesn't irssi display colors even when ircii etc. displays them?
-A: They force ANSI colors even if terminal doesn't support them. By default,
- irssi uses colors only if terminfo/termcap so says. The correct way to
- fix this would be to change your TERM environment to a value where colors
- work, like xterm-color or color_xterm. If this doesn't help, then use the
- evil way of /SET term_force_colors ON.
-
-Q: How do I easily write text to channel that starts with '/' character?
-A: / /text
-
-Q: Why doesn't irssi update my realname (or whatever) after I change it
- with /SET realname and reconnect with /RECONNECT or /SERVER?
-A: Irssi is trying to be too smart. This will be fixed in future, but for
- now you should use /DISCONNECT + /CONNECT.
-
-Q: I connected to some server which isn't responding but now irssi tries
- to connect back to it all the time! How can I stop it?
-A: Two ways. The "good way" to do it is with /DISCONNECT. Check the server
- tags first with /SERVER without giving it any parameters, reconnections
- are those that have tag starting with "recon" text. So most probably you're
- going to do /DISCONNECT recon-1. The other way is to remove all the
- reconnections with /RMRECONNS, easier but may remove some connections
- you actually wanted to reconnect (if you used multiple servers..).
-
-Q: How do I add seconds to timestamp?
-A: "/FORMAT timestamp {timestamp %%H:%%M:%%S} " - and remember to add the
- trailing space :)
-
-Q: Why does irssi say "Irssi: Channel not fully synchronized yet, try again
- after a while" when I try to use /BAN etc?
-A: Possibly a bug in irssi, or ircd you're using does something that irssi
- didn't really notice. The new code should make this happen far less often
- than before, but one known reason for this is when irssi doesn't notice
- that you were unable to join some channel. Currently however I don't know
- of any such events irssi doesn't know about.
-
- Anyway, if this does happen, do "/RAWLOG SAVE ~/rawlog" soon after joining
- to channel, and either try to figure out yourself why irssi didn't get
- reply to WHO request, or send the whole log to tss@iki.fi. Note that the
- rawlog is by default only 200 lines and it may not be enough to show all
- needed information, so you might want to do /SET rawlog_lines 1000 or so.
-
-Q: Where's the GUI version?
-A: Read http://irssi.org/?page=about
-
-Q: How do I autorejoin channels after being kicked?
-A: That's evil and you shouldn't do it. If you get kicked, you should
- stay out, at least until the channel forgot you existed :) Most channels
- I've joined just ban you if you autorejoin after kick. If you're joined
- to channels who kick people for fun, try changing channels or something.
-
- Anyway, if you REALLY want to do that, and you understand that you're
- doing evilness, you can use the autorejoin.pl script that comes with
- irssi. You'll still need to specify the channels you wish to rejoin with
- /SET autorejoin_channels #chan1 #chan2 ...
-
-Q: How do I announce that I'm away/back in all channels I've joined?
- Or how do I change my nick when setting myself away/back?
-A: That's even worse than autorejoin. Who could possibly care every time you
- come and go? Many channels will kick you for using this, and I for example
- have added several ignores so I'd never need to see these messages. Learn
- to use /AWAY command properly and tell it's existence to people who don't
- know about it. /WII yournick shows your away reason much better for people
- who actually want to know if you're there or not.
-
- You can script these behaviours if you really wish to of course. But
- currently there's no public scripts for either of these, and the only way
- I'm going to add such to irssi.org is if the script contains a setting to
- specify which specific channels the announcement is sent.
-
-Q: Why does irssi autojoin on invite by default?
-A: The setting is /SET join_auto_chans_on_invite - it's not the same as
- regular autojoin-on-invite, which irssi doesn't even have. The only
- channels that are joined on invite, are the ones you've added to config
- with /CHANNEL ADD -auto. This is very useful with +i channels when you
- need to first send an invite request to bot, or if you get accidentally
- kicked from channel, the kicker can invite you back immediately.
-
- I don't see any bad side effects with this feature, so it's ON by
- default. I guess someone could start kicking/inviting you all the time
- but server connection shouldn't drop because of that, and you shouldn't
- join channels whose operators are that evil.
