A skip past the usual bulletins and other ãstuff? I implemented that once by adding a prefix ("*") to the username ãat the NN: prompt. IOW to perform a fast logon, you would simply ãhave to enter *nightcrawler at the NN: prompt.ããA simple check for the "*" turned on a flag to trigger the skip, and ãremoved the "*" so the username could be validated successfully. (If you ãdon't like a "*" use something else.) You would have to modify login.js ãto check for the flag. You could insert a small block of code right after ãtheã // Get login stringã var str=console.getstr( . . . );ããto check for the prefix/flag (various ways), remove it if found, and also ãeither initiate the skip or set a value in a variable that can be tested ãlater to skip/no-skip. It depends where you want to begin skipping and ãwhere you want to skip *to*. Something like this maybe?ãã // check for quick-logon prefix (O, Perl! Where art thou?)ã if (str.match( /^\*\s*/ )) {ã str = str.replace( /^\*\s*/, "" ); // remove prefixã QuickFlag = true; // set flagBã }ããNow at any point, you can test for QuickFlag and take apropriate action as ãyou see fit.ãã---ãPlaying: "Hey Jupiter (The Dakota Version)" by "Tori Amos"ã from the "More Boys" album.ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Making sure

So you could still use the prefix method.ãã > I am looking for something along the lines of a Yes No prompt after theã > first logon.ans is displayed.

But I suppose it might be ãof use to some users who wish to not see all the pretty ANSI.

Because unless you are ga-ga for crappy ANSI displays, play ãdumb-assed text-based games, leech files from the filestore, waste hours ã'chatting' with the other morons on the board, and post loads of messages ãin the subs, you don't DESERVE to use a BBS.

And I agree, some people don't like or not in the mood to go through ã5+ logon screens, hence the quick logon. But before you make the judgement ãthat my ANSIs are "lame-assed", I urge you to check my board out.
