           Summary: server split leave and join events
           Product: konversation
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: achiestdragon gmail com


Version:           0.19 (svn) (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

when a server split happens theres a large number of part and join messages displayed in chanel 

would it be possible to implement the following 

when a server split happens the part message uses the address of the server that has dropped not the users normal information 

if detecting this would it be possible to mark the name on the nick list in a different way ( new for this condition)
and flag it back when that user reconnects ( after split is fixed) 

on detecting a split only put one message in chan , and another when that server starts  to reconnect its users 

the end result is 
on a server split  a message is shown in chan to the effect that there is a server split 
all nicks that have left because of that are marked as (disconnected but still shown in nick list)
maybe say shaded with a new icon for the condition

when the server reconnects there is a message to say server 
reconnected , and the nicks list reenables them to normal state 

saving lots of channel flooding  with nick join / part events on a server split 

(needs to have a way so nicks that parted while on the disconnected server need to drop out somehow)
