Hey guys... I usually log into 2o invisibly, so that I don't add to my call #s or last callers list - but I want to be VISIBLE to other users. (sometimes)
Is there a way to login INVISIBLE and then toggle that mode off? Hmmmm - I'd even like to offer that option to some of my users. Alternatively,
if theres no toggle - is there a way to login VISIBLE but not log the call in last callers/total call #s?
Do you mean, visible on the local nodes query, for instance? I wasn't aware that was an issue. I thought this only affected the call lists/stats.

Ummmm... I allow certain users to login invisible on any call, like myself. All s50 users can login invisible after their first call of the day - but I usually ALWAYS login invisible so my calls don't litter the last callers list. However, none of my users can SEE me logged in when I do - so... I'd like to bypass the last callers listing, totall call #s
to the bbs, BUT be visible to my users.

I know I am thinking basic programming language here, but can't you do a check of access level as the first string in the prelogin menu in the FIRSTCMDS section and if access equals s255 drop to main? You can add in
a question for s255 users (Which I assume is only you) do you want to go straight to main? If you answer yes, it will load the main menu and you are good to go, if you say no it will drop you through the entire login process.. This should also bypass all of the logging that is done via
the prelogin menu.. I am probably way off on this but it might be worth
a shot...

Okay, yeah, I get what you're saying. Unfortunately, I was under the impression that this was already the case. I mean, when I check my own "who's online", I show up on it. But...that might only be because I'm account that I totally haven't used it for...(o_-)

Yes in the Mystic configuration under Login/Matrix there's an option called "See Invisible ACS" which means, if a user has X security level
or above, they can see anyone even if invisible.
Perhaps you could leverage that Paulie420?

I don't think that's the issue paulie420 is dealing with. He already has
a 'fast login' option in his BBS, but it currently takes place *after*
the Invisible? prompt, and after the caller log is updated.
RTFM!
