thanks for the reply, Luke, apologies for the delay.
The plugin is intended for when you are kicked offline. that is, when you no longer have a connection to the server. you are not in any sense of the word that I understand, "offline" when merely kicked from a single chat. how would you word this to make this distinction clear?
I think it's the use of the word "kicked" that causes the confusion (and it's not just me, my colleagues confirm). Losing a network connection, for example, isn't normally caused by any "kicking" action.
Given that IRC, in particular, has a "kick" command that does something else, and other IRC clients, e.g. xchat, have an "auto-reconnect on kick" which does what I described in the bug - i.e. after being kicked from a channel - I think the wording here isn't helpful, to us easily confused people :)
Perhaps: "when you lose your connection to the server, this reconnects you" would be acceptable?
Separately, would there be any use/point in me logging an RFE to ask for the addition of a plugin to auto-reconnect after being kicked off a channel?
thanks much for your comments. best regards, calum. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
