Is there a way to disable the asking of a user if they want to download their batch queue on logoff?

first, i'd recommend against it personally. you're probably going to annoy someone who flagged a handful of files and then forgot..

second, i think by default 'g' goodbye on most menus goes to a pseudomenu called 'goodbye' that has three menu options

under Y, you could change the action list to first do

(QC) Clear batch queue

and then

(GH) Hangup

The better question is: WHY would you want to do that?

I set a post/call ratio on the [d]ownload option. When you logoff you're asked about DL'ing the batch queue with no reference to the PCR. As long as you download flagged files at logoff the PCR is ineffective. I'll keep digging! =)

My goodbye menu is 2 options (y/n) with 'hangup' and 'return from gosub' being the only two menu commands.

I plan on keeping a reminder. I just don't want the user to dodge the PCR setting on my [d]ownload command.

if you're considering anything related to ratios on a modern bbs you might as well close up shop heh
