Usermode +c

If your client has problems with the * and ! prefixes and there are no patches for your client or you don't want to install one there is another possibility.
You can turn off the new prefixes. This means Channel Founder and Channel Admin are no longer shown as * and ! but as @ for Channel Operator. Therefor you have to set user mode +c for your nick:
/mode <dein_nick> +c

You can connect via port 6660 to any server in euIRC instead. Then the user mode +c is set automatically during connect.
