Is it just me, or does the page up/page down not work on the Account screen?

That didn't work for me. Still can't page through the accounts page. I just ordered an R430 for my home rack, and will be migrating off the cloud server to a self-hosted server next weekend.

If I can get Majormud to install fully, I'll be shutting down my MBBS4EVER server. I got Majormud installed but none of the options show up in the security and account menus on the config editor.

I managed to get a web terminal working through secure WebSockets and blocked incoming telnet sessions at my firewall. At least folks now have a secure connection to the BBS. It's still not displaying ANSI correctly though. Going to have to fiddle with Xterm.

My next project is setting up an SSH-Telnet proxy server, so anyone can use an ssh client to connect to the BBS.

Thanks for getting me a valid activation code. If I can get LORD and Majormud going, I think I'll be able to lure some of my old users back in. Please let me know how I can help keep this project moving forward. I'm not a coder, but I lead a team of software developers at my day job.

Found my answer for Majormud in another post. It's up and running. Going to shutdown MBBS4EVER and focus on v10. Thanks!

I have found the console screen to be hit and miss and the most reliable method is using the keypad pgdn/pgup.

It is something we are aware of and are looking at.

I'm having issues with WGSDraw. Screen refreshes randomly screw up leaving menus behind or inserting random lines and skewing any drawings.

I'm running on Windows 11 and did a full install of V10 and am entering the draw via the menu editor. Any suggestions to get a stable way to create ansi menus?

Thanks,
Pete

I think I found a workable solution. When the screen gets "corrupted", hitting the spacebar on the bad lines updates that line. Toggling the quickview menu helps too.

i use THEDRAW which is what gcomm modeled their editor after. beauty of thedraw though is you can add font packs.

I got TheDraw working on DosBox and it works like a champ!

Majorlink

Post by pete »

Moved my v10 install from the cloud to an on-prem server, but I can't get Majorlink to connect. Is there a port other than telnet that needs to be open, or did I get blocked for having two copies trying to connect at the same time?

Thanks,
Pete
