    W0W; another Christmas gift from the scene. Mistigris put out a killer 1221 pack... theres a rumor that we'll shortly have the Back to the BBS Part 6 and theres so many killer BBS projects to enjoy. (I'm looking at you, APAM.)

    At any rate, Merry Christmas fsxNet. I'm gonna get 2o on the final a47!! Hope ya'll have a great holiday!

    Man, I think I'll always PLAY with the new betas... but I'm thinking that I'll stay behind on the a48 alphas. Knowing me, that may change - but... I'm thinking maybe I'll just have a SISTER BBS where I can play with the new features...

    But I guess now isn't the time to worry about that - UPGRADE DAYS A COMIN.

    No prob, I just happened to be looking at the right time so had hatched it out about the time g00r00 was posting about it on othernets.

    Could be next week could be next year, you never can tell.

    Yeah I just hatched that pack out in the last 24 hours to the art file base. Nice to see A47 if finally out too. Al BBS videos are always an enjoyable watch :)

    Yep! Good luck! =)

    My upgrade went OK... however I had a MIS Daemon that failed to shutdown so the initial ./install replace failed at the mis binary. A quick killall and reboot made everything buttery smooth.

    In addition, whether yer coming from a46 OR from previous alpha builds of a47, BE SURE TO go thru the upgrade.txt and complete all.

    Theres a new gallery.ans/ini, I had missed a couple ./mutil suggested runs (PackMessageBase, PackFileBase) AND there was an unneeded .dat file to be deleted..

    During the alphas I had bost missed one or two things, and there was one new one (gallery.ans/ini) in the FINAL.

    I really like the new .ans/ini setup for ANSI gallery, ANSI viewer and File/Message templates - they are really customizable and offer the ability to FULLY control and change how these sections of the software look and act.

    One thing that I still can't figure out, however, is the automatic font switching in like.. the ANSI viewer. I've set my font to CP437 in the theme, but my gallery/ANSI viewer still won't switch to TOPAZ when viewing ANSIs. (Tested on the iMPURE 80 pack.)

    At any rate, I think a47 is a damn solid upgrade from a46. I've never had a BBS software that allows this much customization - in ways that I like. (Renegade <3.)

    Cheers!

    w00t! Just logged in and saw the files there. Thank you, sir!

    Also just upgraded to this release without a hitch from a previous A47 release. Running great, and thank you g00r00!

    A47: I'm not crossing that road unless someone holds my hand.

    OK, so I'm a techno-baby, what can I say?

    Perhaps it's time for a new set of YouTube tutorials from our friendly neighbourhood Mystic guru?

    Seriously though, I think A47 is sufficiently different to void some of the existing Mystic tutorials (hasn't fidopoll been deprecated in A47?).

    I hope I don't come across as entitled in any way, but your original series
    was instrumental in opening up this arena to the otherwise uninitiated.

    LOL, and I literally would not be able to read or respond to this, or any
    other response for that matter.

    When all is said and done, without Avon, many of us would not be able to participate at all.

    Thanks for the feedback, yep they are now rather dated, especially the info about fidopoll (as you mention). I had been waiting for James/g00r00 to push A47 out to the world first, but now that's happened I do plan to work on some updated videos in the coming months.

    Nothing in your post comes across as 'entitled' and I appreciate the kind feedback.

    Thanks Avon, that would be very much appreciated.

    Your existing tutorials have served as a valuable safety net during my adventures with A46: when I tinker to the point of breaking something, I
    simply reset and follow your tutorials again.
