The point is, if you're editing the user with the GUI user editor then the
changes will probably not show up until after the user logs on again. If
you're using ;UEDIT from the BBS then it will set the User Data Modified flag
[U] to on for that node. Which you will notice a [U] behind the nodes' node
status in SBBSCTRL. Once the [U] flag gets cleared then the changes have been
activiated and you should see the new values in other programs.
