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
