    Not a programmer or know the specifics of how this works the way it does...but is there a way to add being able to validate a new user while they are online without needing them to log off & back on?

    There's the email verification that's in there, and I *think* you don't have
    to be logged off and back on to work it. Or you could just set everyone's access to normal user access on signup. =)

    I have a fun little auto validator script I found somewhere that just kind of makes it look it's doing something and then flips their access level to a higher level. This isn't a proper Mystic Validator email routine but I had it for 8 years and it was cool. No logoff and back on.

    If you want the script, hit me up and I'll get it to you.

    You can do a Email Validation for them, they get a code sent to their email address and enter the code and the BBS ups their access to a
    access level of your choice.. I do believe it gives them the new access immediately. If you go back a month or so I explained in detail how I do it.. IT works great. If you can't find it let me know and I will repost how I do it..

    Don't remember it...but please repost it. Will certainly do it.

    Thank you again!!!

    If you are using Windows then you can go into their node window where the user is logged in and use Alt-E to open the user editor

    HOT DOG! Will be doing that with some local folks from work...so they don't have to log in twice.

    Thanks again!

    Darn it...having to learn something again. ;) Was something I had read which mentioned it...but with wanting to get everything running...just put it in
    the back of my mind. Now that I know what it is...gonna be using it.

    I'm using it as well. I'm not 100% sure if it bumps them up immediately though. Will have to test that out.

    Its an option to have it upgrade your access, and it should happen
    immediately.

    Mystic already does e-mail auto-validation. You can also automatically
    upgrade users using a menu command too.

    I think its obvious which one of us has the knowledge and which
    one of us has an obscure use-case that they can't let go.

    let's pour "experimental" down the drain

    Ok, cool. I've only had a couple of new users since I added it and I wasn't around when they went through the process so wasn't sure if it had been immediate or not.

    Well its supposed to be, but that doesn't mean it works :)

    I have yet to test it since I made the last round of changes to that stuff,
    but I plan to get it set up on my BBS soon (ish).

    If you have troubles let me know, the documentation on some areas is bad or
    at least not well organized.

    Several months ago while looking around to get back into it...Mystic & other modern BBS software documentation is a dream compared to some of the stuff
    out there in the "golden" age.

    I appreciate the encouragement. Made me smile that there are those out there more than willing to help. Thank you!

    I only noticed because I've been hex editing packets to / from mystic. Trying to figure out why mystic won't route my netmails, yet both HPT
    and crashmail do. Mystic routes other netmails fine, but I can't for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong.

    If you want to send me over an example PKT I can take a look at it when I get some time (probably this weekend). You can e-mail to mysticbbs@gmail.com

    Found one item seems to be limited on the path for the theme location example say I wanted to do:

    /mystic/data/theme/ansi/menu instead of menus, this could be me or i there a short way to do that from the fallbacks provided?

    You don't have separate paths for those anymore. You have a root theme directory and all themes go in there. So there is only one path now
    that is configurable and thats where your themes go (in system paths).

    I still would like to be able to customize the names of the folders
    regardless if possible as a request :)

    Cheers!

    You can customize the theme root and theme folder name, and that is it for now.

    I might put in the ability to change 'text', 'menus', and 'scripts' someday but it just adds a bunch of complexity to the system just to change "menus" to "menu" so for now I am going to focus on getting other things theme-related finished like the editor. I can go back and revisit and see what should be added afterwards!
