Is this your first time using a BBS? A lot of it is a matter of just pressing the keys on your keyboard that correspond with the menu commands to do different things. A Synchronet BBS generally supports single-key commands as well as commands starting with a slash (/), and some Ctrl key combinations. It looks like you're getting the hang of that already, since you're posting messages.

Also, it looks like you're using SlyEdit to write messages? It's generally a good idea to quote the part of the message you're replying to so that it's easier for people to follow the conversation.. With SlyEdit, you can press Ctrl-Q (or type /q on a blank line and press enter) to open the quote window, press enter to select the lines you want to quote (and you can use the up & down arrow keys to scroll through the lines to quote), and then Ctrl-Q again (or ESC) to close the quote window. And it's generally good to leave a blank line between the quoted lines and your new message.

Also, some things can show a help screen of some kind. For instance, in SlyEdit, you can press ESC to bring up a menu (usually it takes a moment after pressing ESC) and select the help option, or as a shortcut, you can press Ctrl-L to show a list of the command keys in SlyEdit.

Well, Im using my iphone, but i am getting used to it, it was just i was getting stuck on sections and wasnt abke to go back without logging in, and i think isnt yhere meant to games on here but i cant find them ____Night_Spider____

Hey Night_Spider, if you are stuck "calling" a BBS with an iphone or an ipad, check out the MuffinTerm app. It is a great ANSI capable terminal for iOS. Be sure to set your user config on each BBS to ANSI for best results. FYI, ANSI is the "graphics" standard that most BBS's support.

Hope this helps,

I'm not Night_Spider, but for me, a big factor that I think makes BBSing on a smartphone difficult is the lack of a physical keyboard. I type a lot better on a physical keyboard. Also, hotkeys using Ctrl & things like that are a lot easier on a physical keyboard too.

I think it is. MuffinTerm gives you a dialing directory, nice virtual keyboard with arrow keys, Esc key, CTL key etc. Everything to make your BBS experience better if you must use an iPhone or iPad.

Well, my opinion is ANYTHING on a smart phone is more difficult because of the tiny fat finger prone virtual keyboard. I'd love it if iPhones came with a Blackberry style full qwerty style physical keyboard.

Yes, I do tend to prefer using a physical keyboard for basically everything. :)

I have found some rediculously easy UIs very difficult to navigate on a phone. ;)

He didn't say he was using a phone at first.. But I think the only main difference when using a phone is that the screen is smaller and you're using a virtual keyboard, which makes it a bit more difficult (to read and press the keys), but the general use of the UI is still the same.

I think it is. MuffinTerm gives you a dialing directory, nice virtual keyboa

Plus you don't have to go manually setting things for CP437, if you even can.
