Is there by chance a way to disable putting all of your message headers in the actual message body?

Just so you know... I've quoted your entire message above. Every
message you post includes all that "header" garbage in it, at the
beginning of each message, which should not be happening.

There are other menu systems available for Synchronet 2.x that'll work
with a little bit of tweaking. I took the Renegade-like menus, added
some color to them, and added an ansi header. You don't have to go too
far down to see stock Synchronet, though.

I see a lot of ANSIs out there, would love to see some menu mods that
change how the BBSes function.

Dude, your quoting absolutely sucks. Are you using a 40-col terminal of
some kind? It's not coming through well, as you can hopefully see from
the dumpster-fire displayed above. Please fix.

I don't know if they are, but I

Just spent some time there, and yeah, it's very customized, but not better. I found it rather tedious navigating the screens of "icons", particularly in the Forums and News Reader sections. Not to mention that the descriptions are heavily abbreviated for lack of space, so you're not always sure what your going into. a list mode is definitely needed.

I have been browsing boards, to find heavily modified boards. What are some of the most decked out modded boards around?

I have not customized my entire BBS shell, but I am very proud of my IGS login shell and sequence at Guardian of Forever BBS -- guardian.synchro.net.

To use it you have to be using an Atari ST (real or emulated) with a recent version of the "Instant Graphics and Sound" software.

Or you can watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymii4HSuqt0

I have also made a proof-of-concept of a main menu based on the ST: TMP / Wrath of Khan tactical graphics, but this is a demo on my BBS right now, not the actual menu.

(My BBS also has a custom Atari ST VT-52 login sequence, as well as a lot of custom ANSI demos)

makes me think of the bottom line of the user interface for Turbo Vision (from things like Turbo Pascal, DOS Navigator, etc) .. you don't really have a tooltip option for a terminal program so they just displayed that sort of
information on the bottom line of the screen.
