• Passing a message along

    Hi Paul,

    I have been testing Mystic BBS for several weeks and love all the messaging
    and file capabilities. I want to use this BBS as a social BBS. There are
    just a few things I would like and wanted to ask if you could forward this to the Author. I want a user registry; a way for users to add info about themselves and for others to view that info while online. Perhaps, user profiles and when the profile was last viewed, by whom and how many times.
    As it stands now, there is no way to know anything about other callers
    logging on to the BBS.

    As I mentioned before, I would like the Who's Online to display more information, perhaps a new user question such as School or College and such
    as where the user is calling from City, State and age/sex, etc. In the title bar I would like to display total users on the system and time left..
    On thing that I would really like is a box that pops up when a user has
    just logged on, or logged off and hitting any key dismisses it.

    Those are the basic things we would like and the ability to turn them on or
    off using a config screen. It isn't much but would make it a more friendly BBS.

    Can you pass that along to the Author?

    Best, Paul

    Correct me if I'm wrong but can't all that be done already?

    I wonder if this could be done using add ons? I do like the idea, and would likely run such an add-on myself.

    Not 100% sure and did not read fully the email as I am playing catchup and it was asked I just passed this along to the Mystic author.

    I have suggested the writer login to Agency BBS (or others) and engage here directly... beats me being a middle man.

    Best, Paul

    Well you could set up the user defined fields I think for this kind of thing and allow users to edit them. I think :)

    Not sure about total number of users, there is a user list.
    System time left is pipeTL which can go in any message or header, I put the system date & time in mine. You can create your own pop-up box for the information you wanted like node # and name is now.

    School or College could likely be one of 3 User Option fields (U1-3)

    Your always able to create local message bases for user to user messages which could be an extended user information area. Custom stuff can be added via MPL or python.
