I definitely would like to see a way to tell MUSHclient to retry a connection if it times out trying to connect.

While I'm sure there are people out there who would find it useful to have the game try to reconnect X number of times, or retry for X minutes, all I'm looking for is "retry until success"

Many times, a game will go down or my connection will fail and I'll need to reconnect as quickly as possible. Without a 'retry on timeout' MUSHclient only makes one attempt to connect, then sits at a dialog box.

This is one of the early suggestions - #77 - you certainly aren't the first to suggest it. :)

See the release notes for version 3.19 - this is now implemented.

I have a copy here humming away connecting and reconnecting as the server drops the connection because I haven't entered a name. I am using a 5-second timer to do that.
