>> Thank you for that information. Are these notices posted as messages?
DM> As user telegrams.
Telegrams? Is that something that ends up in the private mail area?
>> Oh! Wait. The notices are to the entry owner?
DM> Correct.
OK. That makes sense. The sysop doesn't need to be notified each time a user
created entry changes.
>> Maybe Waldo's account was getting them since he created the entry for
>> me?
DM> Most likely.
He said that he remembers seeing some kind of messages about the entry but when
he went back to reread them, he couldn't find them in his private message area.
:(
>> I'll have to ask him and see. Maybe we can change that?
DM> Probably best to remove it and recreate the entry yourself.
No thanks. It took too long to get it the way we have it now. It was edited
quite a few times to understand the layout when it is displayed. We finally got
it looking the way we want it. Now we just need to keep itfrom being deleted
;)
I also found that I was able to change the ownership of the entry so I changed
it to my handle. Will that work or do I have to use my real name?
To clarify the "layout when displayed" comment. We don't want a bunch of the
same connection stuff listed when it is the same for each node the system can
handle. At least one system in the list has like 10 nodes and their listing
shows the exact same domain 10 times. That's what we wanted to avoid. There was
also something about the supported terminal protocols that we played around
with getting listed how we wanted.
Thanks for your time and the information! :)
