Clones

As i can see you can join 2 exact nicknames in the same room. why doesnt an MSN chatroom pick up a cloned nickname. Shouldnt it say name is in use ?

xplozion, the nicknames are not the exact same. mIRC shows the true identify of the person, and if you really looked at the nicks that look the same, you would see that there is some variable between them through mIRC. They are never the exact same, if they were, the server would deny access for the second nickname.

Well if you can link me to a room that you are in and you have a nickname as The_GateKeeper i will also join as The_GateKeeper, down to the exact same letters.

i'm in Techgear (%#G_Techgear007NET), you can try it, but i assure you, the characters are not exactly the same.

I haven't ever joined a Group chatroom (lol) Prolly take forever to learn how to. I looked at the code the guy had and it has a blank letter in front of the cloned nic therefore it makes it looks identically to the cloned one. It is a little offset with the cloned nic because of the invisible letter. Here is the code below that he had. I thought it sounded kinda odd myself untill i looked at the code he had.

CRAP like an idiot I did not backup the fix to this fix that TheGateKeeper fixed. Did ya understand that? Well anyhow, TGK you fixed this once and I was wondering if you could fix it again. This one seems to be giving me squares in the nics. And you fixed it before. Do ya think you could tweak it again? I cant find the fix anywhere. And I promise if ya do fix this again I will not lose it....i'll make a backup of the backup, lol.

the one above shouldn't be giving the squares from what i can see.

Ok I wasnt sure if that was the final fix from you...there are 2 ppl with some funky ascii that the nics pop up squares....So far after I applied this new fix the one nic has not come back yet. But the other still squares for a few characters. Hell thankx for looking at it though. Alot less nics are being busted with less squares then the previous one I used, then I realized:CRAP, that isnt TGK's fixed one...lol. Thnx again boss.
