Usefull feature if you have an apointment that you don't want to forget.
Timer

Small utility that converts ASCII codes into ASCII characteres and the oposite. This way, you won't have to consult an ASCII table.
This feature is meant to search specific types of users in a given channel. It allows you to perform the following types of scanning:
You also have to specify the channel to scan on, its network, and a default hostmask that has to match each user's full address, in order to be displayed in the final list.
Takes all your sucessfull connections into one log that can be consulted later on. You can erase the log by clicking the "clear" button.
This feature allows you to consult your logs in an organized way. This means you can set it to list only channel/query/status window logs, for a specified network and which it's filename matchs an wildmask. This way, you can find quickly the logs you're looking for. By clicking the "open in..." button, you can set the logs to be displayed either in a program of choice, or in a @window. It might be a better choice to open the logs in an program, because @windows buffers might be unsufficent for the whole content of the log, whereas a program like window's notepad can display it enterely, although mIRC control codes won't be evaluated.
Note: You can make the log viewer much more efficient by going to mIRC options, IRC > logging branch, and selecting "include network" and "make folder". This way, the log viewer won't have to read many logs. It will only read the status windows logs.
Allows you to stop other users from opening a query with you. You have a tab for the hostmaks, and other for the PVT blocker options.
Hostmasks
Here you have a list where you can block specific users, by supplying an hostmask that matchs them. You can choose just to block everybody regardless of who he/she is, by marking the "block everyone" checkbox.

Allows you to generate RGB color values in binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal numerical bases. A preview of the generated color is given as well.
Allows you to keep logs of events triggered by users who are on the same channels you are. It's purpose is to warn you when someone re-joins a channel with a different nickname, or to provide you the date when a user was last seen on a given channel. This seen system groups users by the network where they triggered the events. Each network is accessable through the "network" combo box. By right-clicking the list, a popup menu will appear with some functions. Here you can search for a given nick/address/channel, refresh the current network's log, clear log entries and access the options dialog box. The following is a description of each option available within.
Keep logs for X days
Keeps seen log files for X days. When they get older then X days, they are deleted.
and to a limit of Y entries
Prevents seen log files from getting more then Y event triggers.
Enable only if I'm op/voice
Sets the seen system only to store events into logs only if you have op/voice status on the channel the events take place.
Allow !seen from op/voices
Sets the seen system only to evaluate the "!seen <nick>" message from ops/voices. This message makes the seen system send a notice to the user who sent the message to the channel, containing the information stored in the seen logs about "<nick>"
Exempt network services
Ignores events triggered by network's services.
Enable "last seen" search on join
Sets the seen system to search the seen logs for entries that might have the same channel and address of the user that joined the channel, but that also have a diferent nickname. If a match is found, a short notice will be displayed warning you when the user was last seen, and which nick was he/her using back then.
