Anyone that uses ecwebv3 having any troubles with the email function? Not sure if its an issue since I'm not running a standard web port (port 8856 instead of 80 as my ISP blocks 80) or if its something else going on with

Yeah I'm having a problem viewing an e-mail. When I click on the e-mail I want to view, all I get is an option to reply and delete. Which neither one works. So here's your first feedback.

The new version looks good, but for some reason both the Synchronet ANSI and my custom ANSI look garbled. V4 looks and feels much more polished than any other web to BBS interface I've seen, looking forward to it.
I'm also getting the following error in my error log.
Fri Dec 04 2015 01:07 pm bills.synchro.net
1460 WebSocket Byte out of range: 233
Got the updates, but still can't reply to e-mail.
Yeah, the splash screen looks a lot better. But I am having problems playing the games menu. When I click on a game the screen just fades out.

Safe to ignore. I'll either stop logging that or change it to a debug-level message in the near future.

It looks like you have it almost working, but I apparently left a crucial bit out of the setup instructions. Your 'Games' section works for me up to a point, but just short of actually loading the intended game.
I've updated the instructions, and here's what I added:
- Open your mods/logon.js file or, if it doesn't exist yet copy your
exec/logon.js file to mods/logon.js and then open it.
- Add the following block of code to the top of the file, under the line that
says load('sbbsdefs.js'):
if (bbs.connection.toUpperCase() === 'RLOGIN' &&
typeof xtrn_area.prog[console.terminal] !== 'undefined'
) {
bbs.exec_xtrn(console.terminal);
bbs.hangup();
exit();
}

I *just* committed a change to v4 which may or may not have any impact on the garbled splash screen. (web/lib/ftelnet.js)
- Add the following block of code to the top of the file, under the line that
says load('sbbsdefs.js'):
if (bbs.connection.toUpperCase() === 'RLOGIN' &&
typeof xtrn_area.prog[console.terminal] !== 'undefined'
) {
bbs.exec_xtrn(console.terminal);
bbs.hangup();
exit();
}
Could you use the same syntax ("xtrn=<code>") so that the stock logon.js would just work as-is?

Sure. The "xtrn=<code>" part is good. I'll add it to the list, I guess.
That came from Ree's committed change to logon.js, back in 2011. Is it not in your copy of logon.js maybe?
I'm having a problem trying to download a file. I get the following error on my web server window when I go into a file area and then when I try to download a file it opens another window on my web browser and sits there and works and works and works and does nothing.

I think I can see where the 'does nothing' part might be coming from, and I'll do something about that shortly. It's probably doing something, but slowly - and could be interrupted sooner than it is.
It's been a while since I worked on this particular bit, but I suspect this means that you have some files in one of your 'data/dirs/' subdirectories that don't have records in your file database. I'll look at making the message more informative so you can locate the file in question - but it's just an informational message and can be ignored.
I also noticed that whenever I post an e-mail when I telnet in It shows up in the sent area on the web side. But when I http

You know, you have a really nice program here. And I really appreciate your reply.
Ok I'm able to download a file using Chrome, but not IE or Firefox.
My main hangup has been logging in. Usually the first time I submit my credentials, the "Who's Online" sidebar shows me as being online, but the rest of the page acts as if I haven't logged in. I can't access the Message Boards, Files, etc. (these are restricted on my BBS so guests can't see them)
I usually have to log in 4-5 times before it finally seems to "stick."

If I send mail through telnet then it shows up as sent on the web side.

Yes. There's now a fix for this in 'web/lib/forum.js'. (Works for me, anyway.)

I'm currently running your webv4. Works great.. Even with changing the bootstrap theme.
Thanks for the great work you do!
Glad to hear it. I recently tried all of the themes available from https://bootswatch.com/ and they worked nicely, which was good to see.
Well, thanks for switching to the newer web interface. It's been great to get all of the feedback and bug reports from everybody who's been trying it out so far. I've been dragging my heels on it a bit, so this has helped me to get moving again.
I will have to try that one out.. There is actually a theme I really wanted to use but it broke the dropdown menus.. https://kristopolous.github.io/BOOTSTRA.386/
