      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:129/215 8006b6fe       REPLY: 1:153/7083 82f31c08       TZUTC: -0500        EW> For instance, I enter the Fidonet area, and I can access the        EW> Fidonet message bases and file bases only. When I select "Area change",        EW> it only lists Fidonet-only areas.              You can do what you want in many different ways, but the easiest would be to       use the message group system. You will need to create a message group in the       Message Group Editor called "FidoNet".              After you have created the FidoNet group in the group editor, note the "ID"       number associated to the group. For this example lets say your FidoNet group       is ID 1 it will look like this in the list of groups within the editor:              Message Group Name ID       ---------------------------------------------------------       FidoNet 1              With the group created, you must now go into your Message Base Editor and set       up the message bases that you want to show up in that group. Lets say you       have a FidoNet base called "MYSTIC", and you open it up for editing. You will       see a "List ACS" in the settings. This is what tells Mystic what the user       must have to see that message base. Yours by default might look like "s20"       which means the user must have a security level of 20 or higher to see it.              If you add "g1" to the List ACS it will tell Mystic that the user must also be       in group 1 in order to see the base in the list. So if you changed "s20" to       "s20g1" and save the base, it will now only show up when the user has a       security level of 20 AND has joined group 1 (which is your FidoNet group).              As another example here is what my MYSTIC echo looks like in my message base       configuration:              Name | MYSTIC       Base Type | Networked       Echo Tag | MYSTIC       List ACS | s10(g1|g5)       Read ACS | s10(g1|g5)       Post ACS | s20(g1|g5)       Sysop ACS | s255(g1|g5)       Net Address | 1:129/215 (FidoNet)              My BBS uses a little more complex variation which allows the base to show up       in two groups at the same time. My List ACS is "s10(g1|g5)" which means that       the user must have a security level of 10 or higher, and be in either group 1       (my FidoNet group) or group 5 (All Message Bases group) to see the MYSTIC base.              Now on my BBS when a user is logged in they must change to either the FidoNet       or All Message Bases group using the Change Group option before they will see       the MYSTIC echo.              Hope this helps.       --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/12/06 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Sector 7 * Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 616 123/10 131       SEEN-BY: 129/215 305 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 218/700 220/80 90 221/1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/18 30 227/114 201 229/310 424 426 428 452 550 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 400 261/38 280/464       SEEN-BY: 282/464 1038 292/854 301/0 1 101 113 317/3 322/757 335/364       SEEN-BY: 341/66 342/200 633/280 712/848 770/1 920/1 3634/12 5020/1042       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 129/215 154/10 301/1 229/426           |
