  • Text box B

    From maskreet@21:1/114 to g00r00 on Sunday, December 17, 2017 22:51:45
    Was wondering if using general MCI codes in these could be a thing? Tried changing my "who's logged on" notification, and it doesn't seem to allow MCI codes, in the header at least.

    Also, the Y style box still doesn't work if trying to use it for posting a message in the message areas. Just locks on N and I have to close my session through the terminal program.

    Can you be more specific about what prompts you have questions about so its easier for me to figure out exactly what you're doing and/or test if needed?

    I know you mentioned the box before and I forgot about it. I apologize.

    No worries, I know you're busy, man.

    The first message I posted was about the Y box, and how it didn't work
    with regards to using it for asking about posting a message in a message base when reading messages. This one was about the B box.

    Specifically, I was trying to make the prompt more attractive instead of clearing the screen with a text message about someone logging in.

    This is what I tried in my prelogin.mnu for menucmd NS:

    0;|#B#1#10#|TI#||13&1 ||05has logged onto ||13node ||&2#

    What I get is the |TI MCI just showing as |TI in the header, and the message cuts off to, e.g., "maskreet has logged on"

    You are trying to draw a box in the space where the text of the message is defined. You need to be changing the node message prompt, not the
    message itself.
