Description Jeffrey 2007-04-12 00:30:23 UTC
Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When I am adding servers and channels, especially for a new user, I can see two useful changes

Network -- this is an arbitrary name and I thought it was more important than it really is.  Is there some way to make the Network field more "what ya wanna call it?"

Auto-join Channel field: this should have a built-in #sign so that I know that I don't have to add it (otherwise, I don't know if its needed or not (experienced users might know, but were not all those!))

I hope these make sense, thanks!

I'm open to suggestions.

Channels don't need to start with a #. They can have other prefixes, too.

OK, maybe... "Name" ?  Most people know that names can change...  I
think....  "What ya wanna call it?" might be a bit long for that space after
all... :)

See, I didn't know that, so thank you!  Leave it as I suppose!
