Look up detailed information about an online user, including their channels, idle time, bio, and registration status.

Syntax

Parameters

nickname — The user to look up.

How It Works

Displays comprehensive information about the user in the Status tab. You can see: their channels (with shared channels highlighted), how long they've been online, how long they've been idle, their away message (if set), their bio (if set), whether they're registered with NickServ, and client details (browser, OS, screen resolution, language, and timezone) when available. You can also trigger /whois by double-clicking a nickname in the nick list. You can look up yourself too.
