Um, you DO realize there ARE other boards on the network that run software OTHER that Mystic, right? Pipe codes made things like this hard to read.

You are in a network based around an ANSI art group. I don't think Nick has had any policy against posting with pipe colors or ANSI itself, especially in a test base.

A *lot* of software works with pipe colors, BTW, its not a Mystic thing.

I know this, but the point I was trying to make is that I see it in other networks that are
NOT based around an ANSI art group as well. Just pointing it out. Hmm, might have to
start posting @-code stuff :)

I understand. But if you see it in networks where its not allowed and it bothers you, you might have better luck bringing it up there! I don't think they're doing anything wrong when it comes to the Agora TEST echo.

Go for it! :)

Mystic's reader as of 1.12 can handle the following color codes in messages:

WWIV,Synchronet
PCBoard
Wildcat
Pipe Colors (RG, Mystic, many more)
Full ANSI

... It would look perfectly fine in Mystic! :)

True, the ANSI looks perfect here using WWIV. WWIV has never had issues with displaying any type of ANSI.

There is some proprietary heart codes to change text color that is native to WWIV only, but standard ANSI and pipe codes all work perfectly here.

Cool!

Can you see this: This should be in purple or at least have some color to it.

If not, I might have this message area set to strip the WWIV ANSI. I didn't know that Mystic could display the WWIV heart color codes.

Well in this case he's complaining about pipe colors not ANSI.

Yep, Mystic supports those two in the message reader. :)

I'm actually not seeing that or a heart code, so it might be getting stripped somewhere in our systems (or its broken in Mystic... it hasn't had a lot of testing as you can imagine)

No color Mark. Must be set to strip it out.

I even see the colors in your quoted text from my original post. :)

Good, that seems to be working fine. I have that disabled for all non-WWIV message areas since I figured no other BBS supported the heart codes, but was wrong..

Fantastic!

I remember when just having a few different colors on a BBS was considered awesome. We take all this for granted these days.

Things sure have evolved since those days. This just reminded me a story:

The first caller on my first BBS (running WWIV) when I was running at 300 baud was a complete disaster. Even back then before I knew of ANSI art scene, I drew a huge elaborate welcome ANSI and apparently it took like 15 minutes to get across at 300 baud! LOL I had no common sense when it came to usability back then.

Eventually I had to take it down because people would just hang up before logging in.

That's funny.. :)

My first BBS was running on an Apple //c using Apple-Net software. Green screens only - no color. Even when I went to a 286-12 back in the mid-late 80s, EGA was the video standard pre VGA. Just having any color back then was a
treat!

WWIV always used the heart codes in the editor. I'm assuming I could use pipes
as well, since I see all the ANSI messages here with no problem.

I was a huge fan of the old "WWIVnet ANSI Art Gallery" which had lots of those great ANSIs. I can't draw worth a darn but do appreciate good artwork.

That's weird. I did not see any hearts in your message, but it wasn't
colored either. I did see a bunch on hearts in the original message too. So is there something I need to do with Mystic to see the WWIV colors?
