Greetings.

We are having a problem here at the BBS with responding to others posts in message echos. It does not seem to matter which conference it is.

You read a post, hit R to respond, the BBS auto-fills the poster's name, but when you hit return, the bbs types Unknown User and quits. Strange and can't see any solution on-line.

Sure we missed turn something on or off somewhere.

What is the easiest editor we have at our disposal for the use of simple folks. Some have issues with quoting, I know I do.

Regarding my response issue, I did a complete re-boot of synchronet and the issue went away.

Sounds like you have a message base configured as not networked with "Post Using Real Names" set to "Yes" and you're replying to a message posted by a non-existent or deleted user.

Is this a networked conference? If yes, then you need to configure it as such in SCFG->Message Areas (under each sub's "Network Options").

I find fseditor.js pretty easy.

Some have issues with quoting, I know I do.

What kind of issues with quoting?

Regarding my response issue, I did a complete re-boot of synchronet and the issue went away.

What does a "complete re-boot of Synchronet" entail exactly?

Rob, this is when you say 'fuck', close Synchronet, then re-start it, in 'lamer-speak' :-)

Thank-you sir. This fixed it.
