Hiya Duece...ããI've been reviewing your irc.js and was wondering if it would be possible toãwork out some code that will allow users to enter their own nick rather thanãwaiting till they get on the server and use the nick command. (I'm not up onãjavascript coding or I'd try it myself). I noticed the default is the first 7ãcharacters of the board's name.... but if you add a blank entry box, say for aãmaximum of 32 characters (I run UnrealIRCD with extended nicks) the users canãtype in whatever. If there's no entry then it can default back to the way youãhave it now. ããThanks in advance....ãã ããã ãBill ã ãTelnet: bbs.tequilamockingbirdonline.net ãIRC: irc.tequilamockingbirdonline.net Ports: 6661-6670 SSL: 6697 ãRadio: radio.tequilamockingbirdonline.net:8010/live ã ã...

Is it possible that your BBS isn't prompting new users to set aãchat handle? Maybe it defaults to the BBS name if the chat handle is empty.ããA quick workaround for you might be copying irc.js to your mods directory, andãediting the line that currently says:ããvar nick = user.handle;ããTo:ããvar nick = user.alias;ããechickenãelectronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.com - 416-273-7230ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ electronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã

I didn't have the "Chat Handle" toggled correctly. Iãchanged it to "yes" so it should prompt for it when signing up. I went intoãUEDIT changed mine and it's working correctly now.ããThanks again.... I can always count on you guys...ããã ãBill ã ãTelnet: bbs.tequilamockingbirdonline.net ãIRC: irc.tequilamockingbirdonline.net Ports: 6661-6670 SSL: 6697 ãRadio: radio.tequilamockingbirdonline.net:8010/live ã ã...
