I'm pretty new to BBSes in general so I have aãcouple more questionsããI noticed while browsing messages that all of the theads and replies are justãlisted together in one place. is it possible to view just the topic messagesãwithout the replies, or to have a threaded view? maybe newer forums haveãjust spoiled me, hahaããI've never looked at the renegade shell, so I'll try it out now. I didn't evenãknow there would be much of a difference between the shells for some reasonããoh yeah, I wanted users to be able to make an account for the BBS through aãwebpage. can this be done relatively easily?ããthanks again for your helpãã---ã þ Synchronetã
