    From Havok@VERT/HWBBS to All on Sat Dec 14 16:04:49 2019
    A few of the many questions I have.

    (1) What file to change colors for message area listing & file area areas

    (2) Any way of shutting off bulletin menu at login.

    (3) Also anyway to shut off message area scans on login.

    (4) changing or adding menu commands or move them to a new menu

    Thanks folks for the help.

    That's up to you. If there have been no commits in the past 24 hours, then one day's source/build will be the same as the previous day's. http://cvs.synchro.net/commitlog.ssjs

    Well. thanks most of that was fast!

    One more thing I want to get fixed, I brought it up before how to fix that error can not write to /sbbs netmail folder I know why is being it was not installed as root. I didn't want to run it as root and installed in my home.

    Is this something I can fix or is it hard coded?

    Thank you for your time!

    The NetMail folder is configured in SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->NetMail Directory.
