this is my first attempt at a dialog so i decided to go simple and made a autogreet...this is very easy to use it gives you the the obvious choices of adding and removing users also it allows you to edit the greet msg from the dialog and decide wether to send the greet by notice, msg or describe(channel).. it also has an enable/disable option...CREDIT TO: yoinx gain for helping me , also to scriptx as i used his GreetManager v1.1. as a general to get to grips with dialogs and /dids, also to pasmal for his tutorial ..although old helped me a great deal http://www.mishscript.de/tutorials/dialogs.htm ... now ill shh before this sounds like an oscars acceptance
