On the freenode network I want to ignore ALL joins, parts EXCEPT in channels #foo and #bar.

What would be the syntax for this?

I tried:

/ignore -except #foo, #bar JOINS PARTS QUITS

I also tried to read the /help ignore but it's quite confusing. Also, would i just /save to keep it permanent?

    For the buggy version of qwebirc that is used on irc.lc , where clicking on the 3 stripes button at the upper left corner does not open its menu, I can tell that an user can type /options , then there the Options page becomes accessible, where there is a checkbox for Hide JOINS/PARTS/QUITS

Try this one:

/ignore -except #foo,#bar * JOINS PARTS QUITS

I don't know if it mathers but don't place a space after the , and the internet shows me a * is needed.

    Ok, I did.. /ignore * JOINS PARTS QUITS and then /ignore -except #foo,#django,#css JOINS PARTS QUITS. Seems to work. Jul 18, 2010 at 6:04
  • Ah, sounds like you have to ignore everything before you can except channels, well, nice that you got this working. Joins and parts are indeed annoying in very big channels, but they are very valuable in small rooms with your friends. :-) Jul 18, 2010 at 10:56
