Your setup is using the wrong author's initials in the quote
lines. I wrote this paragraph, but it looks like it's probably
using Bill McGarrity's initials. You may need to update your
Synchronet binaries (at least something from May 12, 2013 or
newer). There was a change made in Synchronet in the May 12 2013
build that enabled SlyEdit to get the correct author's initials
for the quote lines.

oh wtf, i never had a problem before!

That's because author's initials wasn't in the version you used to use.

So it's all good now?

looks like it's not all good. i'm rolling back.

Or instead of big-dealing the whole thing, check your configuration file and turn off the quoting of initials. Problem solved and you can keep using the current version. :/

It's great to hear you say that, when in the past you've called most, if not all of your users "pukes."

i'm not the type of guy who gets every nightly build and runs a fairly default system.

Actually, most of the people that get the nightly builds (or even weekly or monthly, for that matter) are the ones that care to keep their systems secure, and run the latest code. Those people are also usually the ones that customize their systems.

When I see the people you're referring to, they're usually running Synchronet v3.13 still, because they were too lazy to go through the upgrade process, or do anything to their system for that matter.

But don't worry, when the new 3.16 release hits the shelves, I'm sure we'll get a whole new wave of default BBSs and noob sysops, with up-to-date
systems even. It's a revolving door. It always was. The people that want to stick around and make it into a hobby, are the ones you still see around. Let's just be glad that people show any kind of interest these days, even with you trying to shoo them out of here all the time. :D :D :D

Nick

You asked about an issue with your SlyEdit setup that seemed be fixed
with the new version. As for the initials in quote lines, 2 options
were presented: Update your Synchronet binaries or turn off the
setting in SlyEdit to use author initials. So if you want the issue fixed, you could have done so fairly easily. But now you're
complaining that upgrading isn't worth the effort.

Oh come now. You knew this was going to be completely turned around to being anyone's fault but his own, didn't you?

What does running a default system have to do with getting new
updates? If you run your BBS for your users, you're going to want to
get updates that fix issues (such as the SlyEdit issue with the arrow
keys you were originally asking about). If other users on your BBS
have the same issue with SlyEdit, they might appreciate that being
fixed with an update. Some users may prefer to use author initials in quote lines as well. That is a per-user setting in SlyEdit, so if you
as user don't want it, you can turn that off in your user settings but still let others use it if they wish.

It has absolutely nothing to do with what you were talking about. He just likes changing the subject when he's wrong, is all.

If he wants to roll back to an old version and deal with the bugs, that's completely up to him. He's never going to appreciate what anyone else does for this hobby, which is why he's the self-proclaimed "God's Gift to BBSing." It's just too bad that everyone already knows that he's a dousche, otherwise his services that he always brags about paying a ton of money for to offer up for free to the community (or 'pukes' even) may actually have more than 2 users, and be appreciated in kind.

Yeah, that's true. He complains about others asking questions, and now that it's his turn to get advice from other sysops, he turns it around and complains again. I guess it's no surprise.

Yep. Whatever he does with his BBS is his perogative. As God's gift to BBSing, I guess he knows best. I guess he doesn't need us pukes trying to help him out with our advice.
