You can also try the relatively quiet @samp{#erc}, on the same network, for more involved questions. @item +@anchor{Upgrading} You can check GNU ELPA between Emacs releases to see if a newer version is available that might contain a fix for your issue: @uref{https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/erc.html}. +To upgrade, run @kbd{M-x list-packages @key{RET}}.
