Hola All!, saludo cordial

I know I might have asked this here a while back, buit looking at my historic messages for the life of me I cannot seem to find them.

I want to customize my BBS, meaning the ANSIs, prompts and menus but I found it
a bit challenging, I was used to RA/ELEBBS way of showing columns so you knew exactly where something was going to be shown, so I have not been able to edit my prompts, I'm using pablodrazw and I've changed *some* screens but menus and prompts have proven to be difficult for me. I've read the docs that you can use
Mystic's way to repeat characters and do cool stuff but I just couldn't figure it out.

for instace I tried editing msghdr.asc using overwrite but when I tried reading a messaage the message header fields are gone, someone advised to sue the internal editor, I tried that but screwed up the prompts.

I know apart from this and some adive from reddit there's nt a lot more to seek
for help.

Please try not to be rude if I miss any of your responses normally I read messages to me, so if you reply to somebody else on a response to me I might miss it but it's involuntary.

Many thanks. -- again--

As an update, I found Icy Draw to be an amazing tool, I came across it on anther thread but for some reason my Win10 PC won't run it,. so just forgot about it.

On a PC reinstall, I tried it again and it's just the Photoshop for ANSI IMHO, I've done many of my screens on it and it's great.

I'm still trying to get tgether the whole MCI codes and trying to ptimize with duplication of chars but I havce to study for upcoming ERLectromagnetics class and 1 goes before 2, y'all know.

Thanks for your hjelpful advice.

Quick and easy, Is there a way to have the language selection prompt *before*
user login is displayed?.

Sorry if there is such option, I was going through all of my new user settings and for the life of me, I could not find it.

If there wasn{t, can I implement it somehow on the preuser file?.

Hi, is anyone reading this?...

The question is illogical as the answer will not provide the information you seek, e.g., I read the message, but I don't have an answer, which is your true goal. However, asking if anyone has a solution is also illogical since if someone did, they would have posted it.

In short, be patient. :)

Your system is not reachable.

Indeed, I was migrating to another server due to some hardware issue,
but what does that have to do with my--question, old question by the way?

I haven't answered because I don't have an answer for you. I suspect that that's the reason no body has responded. That's the way this works. For you to claim we're "unwilling" is totally out of line.

You're the one who brought it here, dude.

See right up there where you said "Or unwilling -- perhaps...."?

Yeah.
