Merkin_Man, if you happen to be using an older version of mirc below 6.16, you need to change > $v1to
$ifmatch
and> $v2to
$ifmatch2
They're the only culprit I can think of that render RusselB's script unworkable for you.
P.S. For whatever reason, there are still people adapting to the old versions of mirc. The old versions are full of unfixed bugs and holes security wise. One thing I do know, however, is that the old ones are easily cracked to bypass the registration.
