i did not see one thing in your email that refers to UltimateIRCd3
Ultimate2.8 is an old project and ShadowMaster urges all people to move to
the next version, the version based on bahamut.
about control codes in /lusers - that doesnt exist in ultimate3.
usermodes *% never exists. they _were_ used as symbols to mark channel modes
on users, and the symbol % that marks halfop is supported by more and more
clients these days.
Ultimate3 alpha 26 (the latest) uses the sign '!' to mark channel admins -
the only sign supported by mIRC AND XChat.
