Just not        CP> necessarily pretty buttons.              An upgrade on layout would be good, especially when reading through the       various echos of a network.              I think there is only one Sychronet bbs that organizes the echos into       categories first: Technical, Entertainment, Sysop, GeneralChat, etc.. and then       all the echos spanning any of the other networks are featured in those       categories.              Most BBSes organize by network, and then just list the echos. A user does not       always have a clear idea what echo is for what. And then they have to look       for the same thing in the next network.              The default Sychro webby-thing is a good example. Unless the user has the       habit of using Ctrl-F to look for a string (chat, food, computer, books,       music, etc) they are spending far too much time looking at a long list,       missing something, and give up.                     ---        * Origin: ----> Point Of VeleNo BBs (http://www.velenobbs.net) (2:333/808.7)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 129/305 153/757 221/0 6 360 229/426 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 301/1 322/757 331/313 333/0 808 335/364 370 460/58       SEEN-BY: 4500/1       PATH: 333/808 335/364 221/6 153/757 229/664 426           |
