   Re: New user birth date prompt

    g0> No there are no hidden prompts what is the e-mail prompt doing?   
      
   It's the birthday prompt.  There appear to be more blank spaces to clear the   
   birthday within the code then is necessary, to clear out the birthday after   
   inputted by the new user.   
   For example:   
   If the "end point" of the birth date was X75 on line Y05   
   Mystic is clearing the b-day from X67 Y05 through X10 Y06 ish.   
      
   Not exactly that number of characters, it could be more.  I'm assuming it's a   
   strRep ' ' that is longer then XX/XX/XX.  But I can't see that code (Smilez)   
      
   g0> If you want to send me your prompts so I can install   
   it here I can test  g0> it but  other than that there aren't any hidden things   
   and even my own  g0> BBS has a  form-style application.   
      
   I do have one other question as I build this new BBS ...   
      
   I have "Require feedback" turned on within mystic -cfg.   
   After the new user enters their information, they are presented with  the   
   "feedback required" ansi. Mystic then flies right past the ansi without pulling   
   up the message editor and forcing the user to type something.   
      
   What step am I missing here?   
      
   Also was curios when the OF (not first call, invisible access feature) will be   
   available? I'm still seeing an 8.19 build for RPI.  No rush, just curious.   
      
   Thank you!
