        If your BBS has great posting potential, but doesn't get many post,
this mod is for you.  It reminds your users they need to be posting after they
do a new message scan, download a file, or go into the chains area.  Support
is also included if you use ALF2.MOD, which asks users to scan messages.  Who
knows, the users may catch on a start posting...  Or it may just be annoying..

[Step 1]
   Backup your source.

[Step 2]
   Open MMENU.C and make the following changes to the code in VOID MAINMENU:

= if (strcmp(s,"/A")==0) {
=   write_inst(INST_LOC_SUBS,usub[cursub].subnum,INST_FLAGS_NONE);
=   express=0;
=   expressabort=0;
=   if ((uconfsub[1].confnum!=-1) && (okconf(&thisuser))) {
=     ac=1;
=     tmp_disable_conf(1);
=   }
=   nscan(0);
=   if (ac)
=     tmp_disable_conf(0);
+     nl();
+     prt(2,"7Have you considered posting any messages recently1?");
+     nl();
= }
= if (strcmp(s,"/E")==0)

...then go down a little further and make these changes...

=     case '.':
=       helpl=26;
=       write_inst(INST_LOC_CHAINS,0,INST_FLAGS_NONE);
=       play_sdf(get_string(1030),0);
=       existprint(get_string(1030));
=       do_chains();
+       nl();
+       prt(2,"7Have you considered posting any messages recently1?");
+       nl();
=       break;

...then go down a little further and make these changes...

=     case 'N':
=       write_inst(INST_LOC_SUBS,65535,INST_FLAGS_NONE);
=       express=0;
=       expressabort=0;
=       nscan(0);
+       nl();
+       prt(2,"7Have you considered posting any messages recently1?");
+       nl();
=       break;
=     case 'O':

[Step 3]
   Now, go to VOID DLMAINMENU and make these changes:

=     case 'D':
=       helpl=20;
=       play_sdf(get_string(1038),0);
=       existprint(get_string(1038));
=       download();
+       nl();
+       prt(2,"7Have you considered posting any messages recently1?");
+       nl();
=       break;
=     case 'E':

...close MMENU.C

[Step 4]
   ONLY DO THIS STEP IF YOU ARE USING ALF2.MOD!  If so, open LILO.C and make
these changes:

= setiia(90);
= nl();
=   prt(2,"7Scan for new messages 1[2y1/2N1]7?");
=   if (yn()) {
=   tmp_disable_conf(1);
=   nscan(0);
=   tmp_disable_conf(0);
+   nl();
+   prt(2,"7Have you considered posting any messages recently1?");
+   nl();
= }
=
= /* Handle case of first conf with no subs avail */

...close LILO.C

[Step 5]
   Now you get to compile the BBS.  Have fun.  You can adapt the code in this
modification for use in other places.  You can put it in after Nscanning the
x-fer area, uploading a file, or just logging in!  It has a lot of good uses,
I have only documented the best ones in my opinion.  Anyway, this mod should
work, but incase it doesn't, you can E-Mail me at the addresses below, or call
my board, EarthSiege, at [phone].  Hell, if you just like the mod or
have ideas for future mods, contact me.

Well, two mods in one day, both for 4.24...  Hope you enjoy this mod!
