I also tested a script to actually post ansis, as it is not that easy to do
that with synchronet tools.
Try 'jsexec postmsg.js' from your exec directory (or anywhere if your exec directory is part of your PATH), and you'll see how easy it is to post a message to a sub-board.
it never worked for me. i can post nothing other then colored ascii using the postmsg.js as soon as i posted an Ansi with real Ansi blocks, the Ansi got destroyed or shifted line be line.
I have that same problem.
If anyone knows the solution, please jump in here.
Post a link the problematic file. If it has really long lines, that
could be a problem.

Check this one https://github.com/chairmanmow/synchronet_ad_poster
i have not tested it myself since, before i knew about its existence, i asked claude ai to help me create my own script. But it looks good to
me and should do the job.
Let me know if it works for you.

I might get around to testing that, but it's more involved than I
think it needs to be, and motivation for doing that is pretty low.
I may just continue to post boring ASCII/text ads... :-)

what command line are you using and can you provide a copy of the file you are trying.
you should see that my trump image posted fine. that was via post.js
None of your ansi's made it correctly in slymail, probably works on the normal board though. Wondering if Multimail will handle these things
better or more elegant...

I don't think MultiMail supports ANSI at all. I'm fairly certain
Slymail does, though. Double check your config.

MM does support it, but you have to hit a key first to display it, and I
am not sure how well it handles screens created without DOS CRLFs.

Ah, good to know. Thanks. I've never seen anything but black and white
in MM, but I'm not an avid user of it, either.

that's just a bad mod/addon issue. i checked it on vert and other bbses and all my tests worked.
It seems at a glance the CodeFenix and Most of the Cru fella's
ansi's work, except for like the last 2 adverts posted, all others
you've done, do not. all of the test ones and whatnot, but again
could be as you said.. mod or whatnot that isn't configured
properly to handle all cases. In any case, I'll blame it on A.I.

HiSTORY.
: Funtopia BBS first became active in
1990s, running RemoteAccess +
McMail. It hosted a variety of files
FTNs, such as SpeedNet and
RaveNet, over just one analogue modem dial-up
line. This was all
managed by a 386 DX 33 MHz Olivetti computer wit
540 MB HDD and an
Elsa Microlink modem.:
WHY A bbS TODAY?
: Today, Funtopia BBS is not only a
project dedicated to preserving
early communication technologies &
technological nostalgia, but also
a place to learn, experiment, play & excha
ideas with like-minded
people. It's simply meant to be a fun &
creative hobby.:
