hi
i have a couple of questions and any help or replies will be greatly appreciated.
1. Is it possible to change the topic in a channel through the server so when the change of topic takes place it will show the actual server changing the topic and not the nick of the ircop?
and is it possible for a normal user without ircop previledges to do that?

2. when u do a channels list (/list) and a channel has reached above 10000 users that particular channel doesnt appear on the list any more. Is there a way around this so it does appear on the channel list?

Both questions relate to ircd 3.2.2

Thanks in advance

set +s to hide channels from the/list
but this means any number of users, not X amount or more,

Nope. Server can set topic, but there is no existing command for it. Even if there was, it would not be able to be used by non ircops.

Suggestion: ask for a command like /SATOPIC which -would- use the server (as samode uses the server too).

Or, if you have RAW enabled on your services, you can make services server set it,
/msg OperServ RAW TOPIC #Channelname :NewTopicHere

2. when u do a channels list (/list) and a channel has reached above 10000 users that particular channel doesnt appear on the list any more. Is there a way around this so it does appear on the channel list?

That's a client issue. Unreal will send all (non-secret) channels unless the client tells it not to.

thanx for your replies and my apologies to the moderator for the subject heading
