Channel Name |
The channel name conforms to the standard Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel naming convention.
The name of an IRC-compatible channel can contain between 1 and 200 ANSI characters, but must
begin with with a valid channel prefix. The channel prefix is a one- or two-character prefix
that identifies the type of channel. A number sign (#) denotes an IRC global channel. An
ampersand (&) denotes an IRC local channel. A percent sign (%) followed by a number sign or
an ampersand denotes an extended global channel or an extended local channel, respectively.
All characters except null, bell, carriage return, line feed, space, comma, and backslash are permitted. The name of a channel that allows only Microsoft Internet Chat (MIC) protocol connections can contain between 1 and 63 ANSI or Unicode characters. All characters except null, bell, carriage return, line feed, space, comma, and backslash are permitted. To change properties for a specific channel, choose the channel name. The Channel Properties dialog box is displayed, allowing you to view and change properties for that channel. |
