    Is there a way you could implement a @-CODE for the Comment Field in the user database. I use this field often for notes, and I would like a way to display it. If you agree, can you put it on your todo list. Thanks in advance.

    It's certainly possible, but maybe consider using the "Note" field instead? The "comment" was intended to be a private (sysop-viewable-only) comment about the user, whereas the Note was intended to be potentially public and hence there is already @-codes for the Note field.

    If you find you still need/want the comment field, you can create the feature request at https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues.

    OK, I see that, and it's populated with the ip address of the users, that's why I wanted the comment field. I'll see if I can change my thinking process on this. Always, thanks

    It used to be used for the IPv4 address of the user, but it isn't any longer (hasn't been used for that purpose for a while now) the "Note" field is again avialable for whatever the sysop wants to use it for.
