display

the user's avatar if there is one... where do we go after that? what file presents the "do you want to read your mail now" prompt?

That's in the C/C++ source file logon.cpp:

if(text[ReadYourMailNowQ][0] && mailw) {
if(yesno(text[ReadYourMailNowQ]))
readmail(useron.number,MAIL_YOUR);
}

oooohhh... that's right... that's why max had the patch in her stuff to change that from yesno to noyes so the default is no...

but ummm... isn't there a setting in the user's default settings asking about this? it is set to Off/No/False but the question still gets asked when we complete the logon... maybe i'm confused what that "ask for new scan/files" option is?

something else about this prompt and its interaction is that the prompt is on the left and the avatar is on the right... if you use the arrow keys to move the selector in the prompt, a clreol (i think) is sent and the avatar gets a line wiped out of it...

No.

we complete the logon... maybe i'm confused what that "ask for new scan/files" option is?

New messages/files is for public sub-boards (and directories), not mail.

something else about this prompt and its interaction is that the prompt is on the left and the avatar is on the right... if you use the arrow keys to move the selector in the prompt, a clreol (i think) is sent and the avatar gets a line wiped out of it...

I'll see if I can repro that.

I logged into your BBS as guest, which doesn't have an avatar, but I can see you've modified the logon info/displays quite a bit. Normally, when the avatar is displays (6 lines), the left portion of the screen is system/user details, like this:

System : Vertrauen Synchronet User #1 : Digital Man ÝßÝÝßÝÝßÝ Logons Today : 6 (Max 500) ÛßÝÛßÝÞÜ Time on Today : 205 (Max 500) Û ÝÛ ÝÜ Ý Mail Waiting : 101 ßß ßß ß Sysop is : Not Available software

That's my avatar on the right side. Since you apparently have all the system details disabled in your text.dat, you probably also want to not display the avatar during logon. Or if you do, maybe you want to display it in a different mode.

I'll add an option to logon.js/modopts.ini that'll allow you to control how the
avatar is displayed or disable it's showing.

On 2019 Feb 18 18:45:04, you wrote to Rampage:

I logged into your BBS as guest, which doesn't have an avatar, but I can see you've modified the logon info/displays quite a bit.

yup... i removed all of that and made that first screen file nothing but a clear screen... then i changed login to emit only the prompt(s)... i'm looking to remove guest and number logins, too... i much prefer folks to login with their name or handle... if they do not exist in the user base, then we'll start the signup process... maybe i'll leave guest but severly restricted... it is needed for anonymous access to the web interface for at least grabbing files...

Normally, when the avatar is displays (6 lines), the left portion of
the screen is system/user details, like this:

yeah... the avatars came after i had changed the prompt stuff, IIRC... no, that wasn't it... i didn't have an avatar so didn't see anything until i set one for my user... that's when i noticed the blank line being emitted across the avatar when i use the arrow key to move to "No" at the read your mail prompt...

That's my avatar on the right side. Since you apparently have all the system details disabled in your text.dat,

nope... text.dat is unmodified... i've done everything in the log[io]n.js files...

you probably also want to not display the avatar during logon. Or if
you do, maybe you want to display it in a different mode.

i'll think about that... will probably go with not displaying it at that point... or maybe i'll move the cursor and then draw it... i dunno...

I'll add an option to logon.js/modopts.ini that'll allow you to
control how the avatar is displayed or disable it's showing.

that's cool... i did see the repo commit message about the change so i've been thinking about how i might want to handle this...
