IRC Highlighting is one of the most important feature you should have enabled if you use IRC. Since our community coordinates its efforts in our IRC-Channel you should at least notify messages concerning you. Of course, no one will look in the IRC window every second minute and that's why IRC highlighting was invented.
What do I have to do? If you are highlighted you should notice that. Imagine a person sitting next to you and you are talking to him many times the same thing and he doesn't notice you. Annoying, isn't it? Be sure to enable a feature that gives you an alert when someone is talking to you. Such features are a very basic component of every IRC-client around. It can either be a sound or a blinking window.
How can I highlight someone? Just write the name of the person you want to talk to. You need to write the name exactly, of course. You can do this by writing the first letters and press the tabulator-button. As an example, there is a guy called "Valhallasw" in our channel. To query him, simply write "va" and press the tabulator-button. His name appears now exactly, letter by letter.
