Description Pedro Francisco 2008-11-15 19:54:37 UTC 
Version:           1.1 (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Long story told short: connecting to PTnet (irc.ptnet.org) yelds this after connecting:

[18:43] [Notice] -HUBtestes.ptnet.org- *** Limit of 15 users in the ISON/NOTIFY list exceeded, more than that causes server overload and lag !, use WATCH instead !

and every 20 seconds, as expected by the Notify configuration.

-----
LONG STORY with some possibly interesting details.

I can't find anywhere info about WATCH and Konversation, I'd say it is partially implemented since accessing "Watched Nicks Online", even with Notify off, tells me who is online.
Either
a) the list has been uploaded server side by Xchat and Konversation automagically interprets the server-side notifys
or
b) Konversation uses both methods and offers no possibility to turn ISON off on the GUI
or
c) some other completely random reason

Thank you for your time :)
