      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:129/215 805998fc       REPLY: 1:227/702 719a253d       TZUTC: -0400        DC> 1. When reading posts from FTN's or even local echos, there are times        DC> when I or a user can write an email, read it back, and there are several        DC> carraige returns between lines of a singular paragraph. This is writing        DC> and reading in 80x25, not writing in 132x37 then reading in 80x25. Has        DC> anyone else experienced this and know the cause/fix?              If you have a problem you can reproduce let me know how to reproduce it and I       will look into it. I have not seen something like this nor had anyone else       mention it.              Keep in mind that if you physically press enter in text then it will move to       the next line and that people who are using a different screen size will still       see those enters. In other words, if you place a hard paragraph end, they will       show up as a hard paragraph end for everyone at that point in the text       regardless of their screen size.              IE: If you type paragraphs you have to let it actually wrap and format the       paragraph. If you type hard enters at the end of each line then you are going       to see hard enters in the middle of sentences on any other screen size.               DC> 2. I will perform /U global upload of all groups/areas within the file        DC> section, and hundreds of files will upload. The next day, I can do it        DC> again, and the same files will upload again. It appears that My Mystic              Give me steps and files to reproduce a problem and I will look into it but I       will note to test this. I haven't had anyone else mention it though.               DC> 3. On the new Mystic Version .. When I open archive viewer and select a        DC> .txt file to read, the telnet/ssh session terminates.              Did you upgrade your ansi viewer as per the latest upgrade instructions with       the newer template? Is there anything in your node/error logs? If you have a       file that has a problem send it to me with a note about the problem so I can       take a look!               DC> On a seperate note, I'm curious if Mystic has built in light bar support        DC> for Group and Area browing for both file and message areas. I have been              You can use the msg index to select msg are and the file index to select file       area. There is an action setting that determines if the template you call       reads, selects, or toggles new/qwk scan settings. So yes, Mystic has lightbar       area selection and scan settings using those templates. If you look in the       default index template you will see this:               ; ACTION MODE: What to do when enter is pressed on a base        ; 0 = read messages        ; 1 = change area        ; 2 = toggle newscan        ; 3 = toggle QWKscan              So you create a new template with the action mode set to what you want it to       do when the user presses enter, then call that template with the index reader       menu command and it will act as a message reader (which you're used to), an       area changer, a newscan or qwkscan selector.              Copy msg_index.ini to pickmsgarea.ini and change action mode to 1 then call       the MI with dat of pickmsgarea and you have a lightbar area selector.              ... There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/07/31 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Sector 7 * Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 457 616 123/10 131 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/215 305 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 220/80 90 221/0 6 226/18       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 201 702 229/101 310 424 426 428 452 550 700       SEEN-BY: 229/981 1016 1017 240/1120 5411 5824 5832 5853 6309 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/307 317 400 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 633/280 770/1 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 2454/119 3634/12       PATH: 129/215 154/10 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
