I have left those enabled on mine but        CS> the index lister is really a lot easier in my opinion.               a little too modern for me i think.. lol. i prefer the original message reader       as well. though that's partially because the fancier one doesn't detect screen       height so you're stuck with 80x25 minus header&footer height.              i think it'd be cool if it still operated the same way, but the header was       included in the scrolled text.. it's nice to pan around but i don't need the       header all the time and would like it to scroll away to make room for text. in       a sense the fancy scrolling reader would become the plain one and the only way       you'd know it wasn't is by using the arrow keys..              i've always despised line editors for messages though.. the full screen editor       is just about as bog standard as you can get ;) and mystic's is quite nice..       though it too suffers the 80x25(or 24) fate.              i duno, did a bit of a rant there lol. basically offline readers do all that       same stuff i'm calling "modern" and i've used those quite a bit too. but the       bbs interfaces themselves have gotten SO NICE! :)       --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 550 664 700 981 1016 1017 240/1120 5411 5824       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 5853 6309 249/206 307 317 400 280/464 5003 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 633/280       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 103/705 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
