• "Post a message" prompt

    From oog@21:1/999 to All on Monday, March 18, 2019 18:52:29
    There doesn't appear to be a way to override the "Post a message?" prompt
    that shows when scrolling past the last message in the messge reader from within the message index lister.

    I've updated the prompt value (438 If I recall) but that has no effect. My
    only gripe is it partially overwrites the message base name. Would prefer either the whole status line clears before displaying the prompt, or to
    include the msg base name in the prompt,
    ie: "Post to Mystic BBS Support? Yes/No"

    Is there a setting for this somewhere that I've just failed to locate?

    Looks like I had to logout before it took effect. My change to that prompt _does_ seem to work. ...

    sounds bout right but as to how to get Mystic to suppress the prompt being generated in the first place... not sure on that one... g00r00 may well have
    a way :)

    Best, Paul

    You can change what the prompt looks like, where it displays. what it
    displays, or you can skip it entirely. Which is it that you'd prefer to do?

    I figure it out.. it seemed like it wasn't working, but I hadn't logged out after changing, after loggin out and back in it was fine :)

    You have to either log out or just reload the theme. If you are working on a theme you could make like a /RELOAD command or something to quickly reload after you edit.

    Or you can log out. Or if you are working on the login process you can use
    the Sysop "recycle session". So there are lots of things to do for testing theme changes without logging out :)

    Good to know.. Thanks :)

    Old hat in terms of BBSes in general, but still a newb with mystic.
