Yes. The old format is for "sbl" compatibility which likely I'll be dropping at some point too.
Cool. I'll drop it. I like JSON much better. (:
Yes, I can't think of a reason why not. :-) Your system won't appear at sbbslist.html however, if that's what you're asking.
Bummer. ): It does appear at the moment, but it says "non-synchronet".
I just would like to get the avatar thing fully working. I'm not sure why the ones I'm sending to Dove Data aren't getting picked up.

I've got all the avatar stuff working locally, and I have a nice database of foriegn avatars that I can display... I've written a little tool to import .bin files, but i can't get avatars I send to dove data to show up on, say, Vert.

Looks like it was just white-space issues: your message lines are \n- terminated rather than \r\n-terminated and my avatars.js didn't like
that.
Also, your json-end line had trailing white-space (before the end of
line).
I adjusted avatars.js to be more tolerant of these differences in white- space of the avatar messages, but if you want to maximize compatibility
with existing Synchronet systems, you could make those changes to your messages' white-space.
Wow thanks! I didn't expect you to change your code to work with mine.

This thing runs on Ubuntu so the EOL conventions are Unix.
I'll change it
to more closely match what you're looking for so it will work everywhere.

I understand. The traditional QWK format is to use 0xE3 for end-of-line (why? I have no idea), and those characters get translated by Synchronet
to CR/LF *unless* UTF-8 support is indicated, in which case, it's normally expected to be CR/LF terminated lines. LF-terminated lines work okay too
(as is the FidoNet standard), but my avatars.js script just wasn't very flexible in its expectations.
The editor, isn't easy to fi got it mosly working most of the time,

Is DM Sicilian?
From the name of his BBS (and his last name), I would have thought DM is of German lineage. :P

It was a "Princess Bride" reference, I thought the "land war in Asia" line was a reference.

I was on the Apache web server mailing list a long time ago. We did the
usual trading of TPB references, and the listmaster allowed it to continue, saying while it was off-topic, a Pricess Bride reference was a sign of good character.
His email address? rous@apache.org.
... No appropriate tagline.
