Ed,
Good evening. I have a question for you. When you are using the BBS via the web browser on your phone, do you usually hold the phone so that one of the short ends is the "top," or do you hold it longways so that one of the long edges is the "top"?

I am working on something for the BBS and wanted to survey how you view it when you are using a phone. Thanks!

Mike

Mike, I hold the phone long wise (horizontal).
Doing so shows the virtual keyboard with larger keys.
I have used it vertically to read but the keyboard keys are tiny.

I turned Auto rotate On so I can view the page either way whichever is best, but typing on it I like the larger keys on the phone .

I figured as much. That is certainly the way I would want to use it!

Ed,
Next time you get a chance, try this site out: https://trynew.capitolcityonline.net

It should have a user account with the same login credentials as this one. It does not have all of the message areas yet, and some of the links at the top (like News and Last 10 Callers) don't work yet, but the Conferences link should take you to the message areas and there are a few you read here there. There are also a couple, like Net2320 and Local Test Messages, that are specifically for entering messages to test the board. Feel free to post in them to test it out.

After you try it a time or two, let me know what you think. I am planning to eventually migrate over to that new format, but there are still plenty of room for tweaks. I already know there is one bug in the message display.

Thanks!
Mike

Mike,
Went to Scorpio logged in with my same name and password and then it asked me to registeras a new user.
So I entered same name and password .
Then I was told that the name was already in use, so I put the number 2 after Vance.

You being SYSOP of Scorpio probably ccan see my session info there.
When I signed out of Scorpio BBS I tapped theCCO BBS icon on the phone and saw my Name instead ilofLog In .

So I came here and tapped Reply .
The reply window came up with the word undefined at the beginning
I wrote comments but wasn't able to Save my post.

Scorpio is a bit different, I finally figuered to tap the top right corner and saw what I could do there.
I will do it again in a couple of days.
I will log on as Ed Vance2 .
A d write something to see ifIT will let me Save my post since IT KNOWS I am a registered user GRIN
Ed.

I figured out what the problem was. Synchronet saves passwords in all caps and they are not case sensitive. If you, like me, have been using what you thought was a mixed-case password, it doesn't work correctly with the new system if it was imported directly from Synchronet because the new system *is* case sensitive.

Your "Ed Vance" password should be the same as "Ed Vance2" now. Try logging in as "Ed Vance" next time and see if it works.

Yes, it will be a little different but hopefully better once you get used
to it.

Thanks for your assistance in figuring out this "bug"!
