IRC bug?

xMarminq_ · November 20, 2016, 12:49:17 AM

Whenever I type 05 Walrified 10 post by 01 YOUR NAME 03 on Re: FAKE TOPIC NAME http://codewalr.us/1643/47948 , it gives me an aura. Fix it before someone finds out an exploit to it. Paste it to see what I mean.

Looks perfectly normal to me. What's an aura?

What's an aura? Also moving this to right subforum

What even is an IRC bug?

If we count EFnet netsplits as bugs, then it's something that happens daily.

The hell is an aura?

Does it involve mini-walruses?

Alright I think that @xMarminq_ means that typing numbers into WIRC makes the text colored. This is a bit of an oversight by @Juju, but it's nothing extremely dangerous.

Just don't abuse colors.

Yuki · November 20, 2016, 06:49:40 PM

This is not an oversight.

You are likely pasting those invisible characters (\x03) that makes colors as well.

Yup that's exactly what's happening.

xMarminq_ · November 20, 2016, 09:32:16 PM

But when I post/ type this in the IRC it gives me the highlighted post line in the IRC as if there wasn't a difference

aetios · November 20, 2016, 09:35:29 PM

Yeah, well, it's not a bug, it's a feature.

xMarminq_ · November 20, 2016, 09:37:16 PM

For what?

You're allowed to send colored messages, it's been a feature in IRC clients since mIRC.
