Aliases and %n

Post by Thermite Man »

Is it possible to have the %n feature display aliases instead of the actually scren name?

thats a good question.

i *think* the handling of %n is client side. meaning, that if your client supports %n, it'll show your screen name.

i really have no idea, if it's doable, i'm all for it!

I'm pretty sure that last time this discussion came up, we agreed that it would only work if the other person had the same client. EG, if Middleman implemented the feature, then if the other person had Trillian, it would not work.
