This is pathetically easy, but you might want to add it. It gives users a
little nudge to N-Scan. A lot of new users who aren't familiar with WWIV say
it's unfriendly, so this gives people like that who would be interested in the
conversation a better idea how to get there. All it does is prompts users as
to whether or not they want to do a New-Scan right as they logon (After "Read
your mail now?" or "You haven't voted yet.", depending on if they have mail or
whatever.. You know where I'm talking about.). It's no big deal, I saw it on
a BBS I used to call a while back, so this idea isn't really mine, but since
the BBS is down now, I thought I would try it.
Load up BBSUTL.C
At the end of all the extern lines add these two lines:
extern express;
extern expressabort;
While still in BBSUTL.C. Search for the "You haven't voted yet." or whatever
you have it as on your BBS, as I'm sure most of you have changed it as I have.
After the NL(); around that line, add these lines:
prt(5, "Do you wish to do a New Message Scan? ");
if (yn()) {
express=0;
expressabort=0;
nscan(0);
}
My BBSUTL.C lines now read:
if (i1 && live_user) {
nl();
pl("5You haven't voted yet.");
prt(5, "Vote now? ");
if (yn()) vote();
nl(); }
nl();
prt(5, "Do you wish to do a New Message Scan? ");
if (yn()) {
express=0;
expressabort=0;
nscan(0);
}
.........
This mod has been totally bugless on my system, and I can find nothing in it
that could damage your system, but if it does, I don't claim any
respsonsiblity.
