Overview
This dialog allows setting your nick,username and other options needed for a succesful server connection.
Nickname
Set here you nickname.
Not that many servers impose restriction on allowed nicknames.For example on ircnet you will have to restrict it to 9 characters.
Alternate nickname
Set here an alternate nickname,in case that the default one is already used by someone.
If this one is used too,KVirc will try logging in with a pseudo-random nickname.
You will be able to change it later using the /NICK command.
User name
Set here your username.
Note that this setting may be ignored by the server you're connecting to.
Some servers have restrictions on the usernames provided,so if you experience problems,
try using a simple short username such as 'guest'...
Real name
Set here your real name or a short description of you.
This string will appear in the informations returned by the server when a user
uses the /WHOIS command on you.
On connect set :
If you check one of these boxes , KVirc will try to set for you the following user-modes when
you're logged in.
    Mode +w (receive wallops)
Listen to the WALLOPS message.(See RFC1459)
    Mode +i (invisible)
Become invisible to the users that don't know your nickname.
For example , when an user uses the WHO command on a #channel_that_you_are_on
you will not be listed , unless that user is on that channel with you.
    Mode +s (receive server notices)
Listen to the server notices such as server connections,netsplits and netjoins.
Be careful with this one...on large networks you may be 'flooded' with server notices.
