Additionally, we FINALLY tracked down one of...

In simple words, this means that Eggdrops running before the migration occurred are still trying to send...

Using the syntax “timer <time> <command> <count> [name]“, you can now create a timer with a name of your choosing, instead of the standard “timer1” syntax. The timer can also be removed by using the custom name. You can download...

Happy New Years, Eggheads! (checks calendar) … uhh … and Happy Valentines Day! <3 Thank you to those of you who have been working with Release Candidate 1 for v1.9.2.
