Something's wrong with `q, as it never lets the user out.Synchro 3.20

I'm not sure what you mean. Never lets the user out of what?If, for example, the user is chatting with the guru in multi-node chat (e.g. because there's nobody else in the chat channel), the user must use the normal "/q" to quit command. The Guru cannot "let the user" out of multinode chat.This scenario is completely normal and expected:```Multinode Chat - Type /? for menu.Welcome to Channel 1 (Main) 16 The Guru in multinode chat channel 1 locally.You're on the Air!byeWX6YYZ 1: byeThe Guru 16: Chat again soon.oh well I guess I'll just quit myselfWX6YYZ 1: oh well I guess I'll just quit myselfThe Guru 16: l8r. Command: QChat: ```

I dug around to try and figure out how one was supposed to exit the chat with the guru. According to http://www.synchro.net/docs/customization.html - the lines in guru.dat that end with `q are supposed to quit out of the guru chat at that point.Also, I am not getting to the guru via multinode chat - going via the T option in the chat menu (bbs.page_guru())While in that chat with the guru, /q doesn't appear to do anything, so it seems we get trapped if the `q answers aren't letting one out.

Okay, good to know you're paging the guru using normal means.Did you modify your guru.dat file?The stock guru.dat file does indeed exit the user when encountering the `q sequence. Here's an example:```Chat: TPaging The Guru................................................The Guru is here...yO!byeToodaloo.End of chat.Chat: ```Its possible if you modified your guru.dat that you introduced an issue?

A diff of ctrl/guru.dat repo/ctrl/guru.dat produces nothing. I really hadn't played with the feature recently, I don't recall it trapping me in some time ago, which was likely over a year ago. I haven't updated since Feb. 28, I'll see if any recent commits changes anything.

Okay, so to be clear, you're typing "bye" to the Guru and he's not letting you out of one-on-one chat?Or are you typing `q and expecting that to terminate chat with the guru?

The `q is a Guru *response* code. This is a sequence that is expected in the guru.dat file as a *response* to some text a user type. For example, in the stock ctrl/guru.dat file:```(BYE|SEE YA|LATER|HASTA|L8R|L8R)Bye. `q```This means that when the user types (to the guru) any one of "bye", "see ya", "later" ..., the Guru will respond with "Bye." (or one of the other responses to this sequence, picked at random) and then quit the user from guru chat.

It looks like something that was updated in the repo here between Feb 28 and March 13 has fixed it.I was using 'bye' and goodbye and quit and.... but it just wouldn't exit out after responding with it's "Bye." or whichever message it chose. It was like the `q was being ignored.However, since I last pulled on the 13th (and finally tested the guru today), it's working here now.So, thanks for that!

No, no changes were made in regards to the guru or chat.
