Summary0001333: Connection time / Idle time in Whois
DescriptionI noticed that the Connection time and Idle time is not shown if you whois someone on a different server. I think this would be a great thing to add if possible.

Idle time is a local info, if you want to get that, type /whois <servername> <nick>, where <servername> is the server <nick> is connected to.

And to make this possible either of the following would have to happen:

1)
each time the person sends a PRIVMSG, all servers would need to be updated with the fact that they had sent a privmsg. this wastes heaps of bandwidth that could be used better elsewhere.

2)
each time someone performs a /whois on someone on a remote server, the remote server would have to be contacted to get the idle time. Meaning that it would lag and you might not get this till after a whois is finished.

so really both are impractical ...
connection time could/would be possible - but as both go hand in hand, i both see the use.

stick to irc convention, as angrywolf pointed out.

Or just type /whois <nick> <nick>

Correct, this won't happen. Just use /whois nick nick (I've that under a /w alias because I use it often).
