demonstrative speech topics

  • Newest release is 0.9.17.

  • If you've got a script or a theme that you'd like put on the QuIRC page, please send it to me with either an accompanying text file description if it's a script tarball or tcl, or a screenshot if it's a theme.

  • Some people have been having problems with features being missing after upgrading QuIRC. If you have run quirc.inst and are still suffering, there are a couple of possible options. The most extreme solution being to delete dynamic.tcl, which would start you over with fresh settings. Most often though, the problem is just a script file being missing from either the default_globalscripts or default_scripts variables. Compare the values in your client with those in variables.tcl and add any necessary scripts. As for recent changes of that nature, popups.tcl was added to default_globalscripts.
