such am trying to bring back and update the modules for my particular
BBS package that I wrote to get them up to date with current release of
the software.

Take care!

Tjhanks. Right now, I'm putting my qwk networking mod (started in
2014), which is basically a WINS version of the QWK by FTP script that
ships with Synchronet.

Is there by chance a way to disable putting all of your message headers in the actual message body?

Just so you know... I've quoted your entire message above. Every
message you post includes all that "header" garbage in it, at the
beginning of each message, which should not be happening.

There are other menu systems available for Synchronet 2.x that'll work
with a little bit of tweaking. I took the Renegade-like menus, added
some color to them, and added an ansi header. You don't have to go too
far down to see stock Synchronet, though.

I see a lot of ANSIs out there, would love to see some menu mods that
change how the BBSes function.

yes, if i don't use NNTP to read and post. That's all. I will bring
this idea up with Santronics development.

a lot of those 'modded' boards have the plague of annoying long ansi
screens.
i hate it when it takes 3+ mins to just get to the main menu.
it's k-rad lameness.
Then you go on there and they have nothing but a link to stupid game servers. they cant even bother to setup their own games.

futurland is an interesting one. that guy has always had good ideas and he's creative.
