    I don't believe a user can change the city/state. Leave mail to the SysOp.

    Although he specifically mentions vert.synchro.net, his question sounds more general, regarding Synchronet. His question is something that will affect any BBS running Synchronet, don't ya think?

    It kinda depends on how you're logged in and what level of modification the SysOp has done to the BBS. In the standard web interface, there's
    an "Information" button to the left of the main screen, and a "Edit your Profile" option. From there you can change your city and state. If you're using Telnet to log in, there should be a similar option in the Main menu...

    i think that's stretching it a bit. he specifically mentioned vert.synchro.net

    on MY bbs, (which is synchronet) people can change these settings in the user preferences.

    Yeah, but the subject contains "on sync bbs". The subject doesn't mention vert.synchro.net. That and the fact that he posted his question in a networked message area made me think he's asking about Synchronet in general. I'm sure other Synchronet sysops/users would be interested in the answer.

    on MY bbs, (which is synchronet) people can change these settings in the user preferences.

    Synchronet's user preferences screen is available on any Synchronet BBS (unless you've made a totally custom preferences screen rather than running Synchronet's built-in preferences action).

    turn off your assbergers syndrome. he said on the bbs vert.synchro.net
    i dont think he's asking about changing his location on every bbs
    he's ever joined. he mentioned this specific one.

    you've been living in the synchronet fish bowl too long. we dont all run shitty stock bbses. synchronet is easy to customize.


    i've had this feature since before javashit was added to synchronet.

    Seriuosly? Do you think I have a stock BBS? Have you even seen it? I believe you have logged in a few times.

    Heh, "javashit"? I suppose you call it that because you can't code in JavaScript? And you pride yourself in modding your BBS?

    yeah i've seen your bbs but it's nothing special.
    i don't even think you get callers other than other sysops.

    what makes you think i cant code in javascript?
    i went through the trouble of figuring out how to make things with baja, i did the same with javascript. most of my .js is behind the scenes shit, though.

    i do however, think that baja is better for most bbs related tasks, especially when the case is that you can do the same with less code.

    python or perl is better, though.

    Your opinion. But based on your attitude toward other sysops, I'm not really surprised.

    i don't even think you get callers other than other sysops.

    How do you know? Do you check my user list often, and do you know everyone who calls my BBS?

    The fact that you called it "javashit" was a clue that you at least dislike it.

    i do however, think that baja is better for most bbs related tasks, especially when the case is that you can do the same with less code.

    I haven't used Baja all that much, but less code sometimes means more cryptic code, which I think is the case sometimes with Baja. I think JavaScript is more descriptive and far more flexible. With JavaScript, you have access to some of the standard JavaScript classes - I've found JavaScript's string class to be particularly useful in string parsing. That helped with creating SlyEdit. I couldn't imagine writing a message editor in Baja..

    Also, it seems JavaScript is the preferred language now for Synchronet, as the "Baja and JavaScript" section in this page describes: http://www.synchro.net/docs/js.html
    But according to that page, Baja will continue to be supported, so I suppose it might not necessarily be worth converting all Baja scripts to JavaScript if you don't want to.

    python or perl is better, though.

    Perhaps, but Synchronet has no bindings for those languages. I've sometimes thought that it might be nice to have Synchronet objects for Python.. However, JavaScript seems to be the scripting language of choice to replace Baja, so JavaScript it is.

    should i give someone else's opinion?

    yeah i check it every day

    The fact that you called it "javashit" was a clue that you at least dislike it.

    sure i dislike it.

    I haven't used Baja all that much, but less code sometimes means more cryptic code, which I think is the case sometimes with Baja. I think

    baja is actually very straight forward. especially considering other bbs softwares' IPLs. go take a look at some baja code some time.

    That helped with creating SlyEdit. I couldn't imagine writing a message editor in Baja..


    i actually did that and it wasnt so bad. it was good in a pinch.
    it had to ask you before hand what lines you wanted to quote, but it was okay for me.

    Eh, nobody is expecting you to.

    How do you know? Do you check my user list often, and do you know
    everyone who calls my BBS?

    yeah i check it every day

    Why? Is my userbase that fascinating to you? Do you check many other BBS' user lists often?

    The fact that you called it "javashit" was a clue that you at least
    dislike it.

    sure i dislike it.

    baja is actually very straight forward. especially considering other bbs softwares' IPLs. go take a look at some baja code some time.

    IMO JavaScript is more straightforward than Baja. I have written some Baja - I originally wrote my custom Synchronet shell in Baja, and I also did a file lister mod in Baja. When I started making JavaScript mods for Synchronet, I didn't look back, and I haven't done any Baja since. IMO JavaScript is just that much better.

    One small example of why I prefer JavaScript over Baja - In Baja, it takes 2 lines to do comparisons; for example:
    compare_ars SYSOP
    if_true
    # Do some stuff
    end_if

    The equivalent code in JavaScript:
    if (user.compare_ars("SYSOP")) {
    // Do some stuff
    }

    If you do a lot of comparisons, the lines of code add up.. I just think JavaScript is more elegant and flexible.

    I did do a chunk of work on integrating perl once, but then I let it die since JavaScript is more than good enough.
