Thanks for bringing it up again. Somehow it was something I had rarely seen, but now that I was able to see it happening, I was able to make a fix.

Thank you so very much! The bbs I'm on most installed the updates and the quote window problem is gone. Sorry it took so long to thank you (and you too digital man)... I was home for the holidays and bbs'ing is just something I seem to do regularly when I'm at my desktop. Never got into it on my tablet or other device.

oh i do have a feature request.
could you allow a user to turn it off if they choose? i'm a power user and i don't like to have it turned on in some cases. it would be good if a user's pref could be saved in a data file.

also since you make so many updates maybe an auto-update feature?

Turn what off?

I don't think my updates are that frequent (especially for SlyEdit). I'm not sure the best way I'd make an auto-update feature for my mods..

oh i thought this post was about the msg viewer. it's about slyedit.

the msg viewer. i'd like to toggle it off sometimes.

you have it check your server periodically and then update it.

So, being able to let the user revert to the stock reader when desired?
I think that could be doable, though perhaps a little weird. I could put a user option in DDMsgReader to turn it off so the BBS would use the stock reader, but then once the user is using the stock reader, the user would have no way to re-enable DDMsgReader unless there's a separate script to do so and the sysop adds an option to the menu for the user to do so.

cant you just set a user flag, have it look for it when loading, and if
the user wants it on, they get it. if they dont, it's off

i stored a mod inside the read prompt so you could probably do something like that to toggle it.

Probably. And for the user to be able to change that, there'd have to be some script or something that the user can run so they can toggle it.
