Then what happens when someone has loaded 10 scripts with ial updates on connect? They won't even be able to identify their nick in time. This is why ial update should be a seperate script. You can't put it in every script that uses ial. This could cause mirc to become to bloated and crash.
If it bothers you so much Grant-, make a nice ial update script and post it. I haven't really seen a good one here.
