When my IRC connection drops for whatever reason I am frequently logged back in as a ghost with the underscore after my registered nick.
What are the sequence of IRC commands to get logged back in as my original user when I am currently ghost?
If I just do /msg NickServ identify user pwd it says I am now identified for user but the channels still have me down as the ghosted user. How do I switch?
Best Answer
You "ghost" a nick you own once you are identified as the same account as that nick with the following:
This will "ghost" (kill) your original nickname, which frees up that nick so you can do
to change your nick again.
(In some networks (e.g. Freenode), you can use
/msg nickserv regain nicknamewhich does both actions at once.)
