IRC Chat Window vs mIRC

[Zelek Uther]

Noob to IRC here... I have started using the IRC Chat Window, from the link on the main website. It works well.

I haven't tried mIRC. Just wondering, is there an advantage to using it?

Also, can new incoming private messages make the window blink (or something) to draw my attention? I don't have enough screen real-estate to run UO and have the IRC window visible at the same time (in other words, the IRC window is in the background, hidden behind my UO client). Or do PMs already beep? I'm not experienced enough to know.

Thanks very much in advance! I really appreciate the helpfulness of this wonderful UOSA community.

i use mirc and when im not my main comp i use uosa irc, with mirc you can set sounds/colors/flashing to notify you of pretty much anything you want

nbs-irc will always be superior.
