Change profile information?

Oh hi!
Just wondering, is there a way to change sex (I really dislike how it
adds '(x)' in node list because I didn't initially care to disclose it)?
Also, location? I figured I'd be able to change that in my profile if I
was travelling or moving around. But, I don't see how to change that either.

Ah, so if I wanted to change any of those already set details otherwise
on a standard Synchronet setup, I'd need to ask the sysop - Got it!
(Apologies, I think I accidentally replied directly to you via e-mail
instead of newsgroup)

In fact, I think it's impossible as Digital Man indicated.ããThe good news, I've almost finished a javascript version of the default setttings, which will allow the sysop to easily add and remove configuration options. I have also designed it to use a template so you can change the look and feel to match your BBS, with a little effort, without having to dip in the code, unless you want to.ããAdding the location would be trivial, but will probably require you to squish something around and put some items on 2 lines, otherwise you're going to get some scrolling.ããI'll post something when it's ready for prime time.ã---ã þ Synchronet þ End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.comã

Aye!
I think it would be challenging and mostly pointless to try to run a BBS myself on a sail boat. :)
Synchronet offering NNTP lets me download messages when I do have an
Internet connection so I can later read/write responses. Later, when I
am able to connect to the Internet again. I can send queued
messages/download new ones.
Modern Internet applications really suck for this, good luck trying to
get this sort of flexibility on Discord, Reddit etc.

No BBS here, I'm just a user on Vertrauen currently.
Adding the location would be trivial, but will probably require you to squish something around and put some items on 2 lines, otherwise you're going to get some scrolling.
I'd love to see this stuff reach upstream.
