Hi everyone,

apologies if the question sounds simple, but have gone through the documentation and cant seem to get my head around aliases. Writing a configuration file at the moment and it'd be great if someone could help :)

Cheers

What is confusing you about aliases?

Sorry to be so vague, just starting :) what are aliases used for?? I'm not sure I understand "server-side alias commands".

Thanks again

Alias, noun. A name, usually short and easy to remember and type, that is translated into another name or string, usually long and difficult to remember or type.

An alias lets you turn

Code: Select all

/msg nickserv
into

Code: Select all

/ns
for example.

You define the alias, and people then just have to type "/ns".
