Which is beyond stupid, since /who is the best way for an irc client to populate their nicklist info with more than just a nickname.

But this applies on Dalnet also , as i get the same msg, generally related to my prev post, where the bot has come back found the nick in use, used the alt_nick and then switched back....

webnet uses ConferenceRoom by webmaster (its actually the test net for this). CR has recently been updated and now all but one of the servers runs the new version.. im now on that last server but its not the most reliable irc servers in the world.

I am unsure if any of the older versions work on these servers and I am not aware of any workaround or patches, as of yet.

As for proof, yes and no.

You can proove it easily, by taking the direct output (before parsing) of the WHO replies on webnet, and on a RFC complient server.

As fot his getting you anywhere, it is doubtful.

I am unsure what IRCD webnet uses, it's own or another. It needs to be the developers (the people that code it, not run the network) that get the message.

I know you said it was a problem with the webnet service, but is there a work around? Maybe an older version of eggdrop?
And if I want to complain to the webnet folks, is there any way I can prove it that it is their problem?

This is an issue with the webnet server!

webnet, like many other IRCD's doesn't return a RFC complient "who" reply. Which in turn causes eggdrop to break.

This is somthing that will doubtfully be fixed in eggdrop, as eggdrop follows the RFC, and is allways likely to.

As such, you should complain at the webnet IRCD developers, not eggdrop.

running eggdrop v1.6.8 on Linux 2.4.16.

im sure this is something really simple, but ive been playing with it for aaages and dont seem to be getting anywhere. as a last resort, ive just changed to v1.6.8 and its still doing it.

when the bot joins a channel, it will always say "oops, im not on #channel" and will maintain the #channel(trying) unless it gets ops from chanserv onjoin. If it does gets ops… its fine.
its running on WebNet.

does anyone have any ideas (other than get ops on each chan its on)?
