   NOTE: SlyEdit 1.89e (2025-02-09) (ICE style)   
   First an observation. For the past couple of days while trying to absorb the   
   information in the Synchronet wiki, I've notice the the page/board seems to be   
   intermittently up/down. Just now I am trying to confirm my BBS entry for the   
   Mystical Realm BBS and I cannot pull up the site.   
      
   So, I am new to Synchronet. I was a Spitfire sysop back in the 80s and 90s and   
   just getting back into this hobby. I repurposed a 1st gen Ubiquiti NVR,   
   installed Debian 12 on it, cloned the Synchronet gihub and compliled from   
   source. I have the BBS up and running on 2222 and 2323 (as well as rlogin).   
      
   So, first my issue:   
   I went into my Synchronet BBS list door, added my BBS but I noticed that it   
   came into the main list wrong (no ports, no preview, etc.) I've since added my   
   FidoNet node address and edited my description. I've attempted to rerun the   
   sblupdat timed event to push my changes out, but the list at the main web page   
   does not reflect my changes. I've tried this for the past 3-4 days. (My wife   
   has been in the hospital, so my attention to this has been a little sporadic)   
   I've tried to check again just now, and the entirety of synchro.net appears to   
   be down? How can I update the mail list? It looks good on my board.   
      
   My question. I've noticed on others boards that when logging off, the last   
   screen presents the user with 10-15 or so Synchronet boards to try next. When   
   I log off of my own board, I am directed to the main list at the website. How   
   can I change this to serve up some (I am assuming) random boards from the   
   sbbslist that is present in the BBS?   
      
   One last ask...I've noticed some boards have screens (i.e. the login screen)   
   that have menu that can be navigated by using the arrow keys to select 'log   
   in' or 'new user' and even have more "jpeggy" looking splashes as opposed to   
   ANSI like in the case of Digital Distortion or if solely looking at the menu   
   aspect, Pharcyde?
