Good morning everyone!
I hope you all are having a good week. I had a question and I apologize if this seems simple, but how do you upload a bbs advertisement into a message base? It has been so long since I have done this and it occurred to me that this could be the reason why there are only a few users on my bbs (lol). I appreciate any input an thank you again for your time!
You have a lot of options:
1. Enter raw I/O mode (Ctrl-Z) then start your (P)ost in the sub-board of interest and perform an "ASCII upload" of your ad from your terminal program. Ctrl-Z again, if necessary, to save the message.
2. Use fseditor.js as your external editor, just start ZMODEM upload of your ad file.
3. Use the internal line editor and either start a ZMODEM upload or use the //upload command to upload your ad file.
Other editors likely have other options/commands to upload message body content (e.g. ANSI).
