So I was able to setup the multiple usernames automatically when I
start up Hexchat thanks to help earlier this week, but now I encounter
the problem that my name in servers below the top one change after a
while to the top server...

Example:

(I just opened HC)
>Freenode: (Name: Ex1)

>+Channel: #Doobly

>Espernet: (Name: Ex2)

>+Channel: #Dibbly

>Examplenet (Name: Ex3)

>+Channel: #Dabbly

Some time passes

>Freenode: (Name: Ex1)

>+Channel: #Doobly

>Espernet: (Name: Ex1)

>+Channel: #Dibbly

>Examplenet (Name: Ex1)

>+Channel: #Dabbly

This is really annoying, can anyone help me out?

Are you using the per server name, or what?

username or nickname?

Does this happen on /reconnect or when?

How are you connecting to these networks and did you set the name in
the network list?

I have all the name parameters filled out. (I don't sign up for
servers, so should I not be using Username, or whatever one is
associated with accounts?)

It doesn't happen on reconnect. I turned off global server information
so I could connect to individual servers with different names, so that
wouldn't do it.

I'm autoconnecting when I open the client. Yes.

the network settings.

[Here](http://i.imgur.com/TgdSkqW.png) is what I have filled out on
the network settings for one server. It's same for all except the
names.

Well one issue is you should never have *Nick name* and *Second
choice* be the same value. There are multiple of them for a reason, if
one is in use you **must** have a fallback. In HexChat's case after 2
nicks fail it will use the global nickname, this is sort of a bug but
easily avoidable.

Ah, alright then.
