You can't, really. I'm trying to figure out how to substitute an illegal character for a legal character. Like if someone's name is The Big Dog, remove the space and place an underscore so that it's The_Big_Dog. Anyone know how to do this?

Works on 3.8.2. However, I am still seeking a way to create a "Who's chatting block" without putting to much stress on the server?

ideas?

^-- Generally the only way you would do this reliably is with some sort of irc bot (eggdrop/emech) in the channel that you have people join. I'm sure you could do it with the built in vBulletin "What is the current user doing" field but I doubt this would work, as generally people open a new window and then continue browsing the forum.

I run a heavily modified version of this mod, and one thing that others might find handy for connecting to certain IRC networks is removing all of the special characters out of peoples nicks.

It's easily done, just edit the pbjirc.php file, and find the "//get username" line, just below that, replace the existing "$vbjirc['username'] = " with this:

$vbjirc['username'] = substr(ereg_replace("[^+A-Za-z0-9]", "", $vbulletin->userinfo['username']), 0, 15);

That will remove anything that's not alphanumeric (Including spaces), and truncate the length of the username to 15 characters. Change the last 15 to what ever you want (If not 15, generally 9).

I am interested in this as well.

ANY mods for IRC would be appreciated.

Just curious, is there any way to modify this so that other chat channels can be opened with just a click of a link or button? We use multiple rooms for our roleplaying website and it would be very handy to have.
