    A black screen? Does that mean something is wrong with the BBS or something is wrong with your device?

    Dove-Net probably isn't the right place to ask about connection issues to my BBS. You can always email me at nightfox@digitaldistortionbbs.com and I can reply to your email.

    I've seen people connecting to my BBS. And it sounds like The Millionaire himself even seemed to be able to connect to my BBS using the fTelnet on my BBS web site.

    I'm curious as to why he feels the need to post his "black screen" problem with one of the most reliable boards on the net.

    I have gone to your webUi and using Connect via Telnet that appears in the center to try to connect goes black with a flashing cursor but no activity, however, following the link web based telnet client works very well.

    ftelnethelper.js is failing to look up a Port setting for the [WS] service in services.ini,
    and is returning its default, -1.

    One option is to add a 'wsp' key to modopts.ini->[web], pointing to the port your websocket
    service is listening on (1123). The same can be done for 'wssp' for the secure service.

    The other option is to ensure that the websocket service section name in services.ini is
    [WS], and [WSS] for the secure variant if you're running it.

    The latter is the preferred option.

    Thanks. I'll look into fixing this. I know it was working at one point.. Not sure when it stopped working.

    Yes I can validate the ftelnet client is not responding at DD.

    I updated my services.ini. I noticed I had a [WebSocket] section and didn't have a [WS] or [WSS] section, so I added those. I don't see a [WebSocket] section in the services.ini in CVS, so I doubt [WebSocket] is used anymore? It also makes me wonder if I have any other 'stale' sections in my services.ini, or if anything is actually still using [WebSocket]..

    It's rare for those section names to change, so you should be fine.

    I assume you applied the suggestions echicken indicated, and am happy it's all good now ... BTW what telnet connect app are you using on the other web telnet interface?; I like that and would consider using it on my webui .... which is, no offense, a custom CSS theme I wrote that incorporates the stock runemaster web stuffies ...

    When did you last try? I made a fix (as suggested by echicken) that seems to have fixed it.

    That's also fTelnet. The reason I have fTelnet on 2 pages is because I used to use the old Runemaster web interface for Synchronet, and I made a separate page just for fTelnet that one could use without the clutter of the main page. I've since switched to echicken's ecwebv4 web interface and put fTelnet on the main page. I kept my separate fTelnet page, but admittedly it seems a bit redundant..
