I know exactly what these message areas are for.

Right now, you're in the GOLDED support echo asking questions about
SYNCHRONET. Is that proper use of these support channels?

If you want to start being an asshole to people that do offer assistance by
pointing you in the right direction, you'll soon realize that people will just
stop helping/responding to you, altogether.

Have you actually searched for semaphores in both Synchronet and Golded's
documentation? Because it doesn't seem like you have. I gave you exactly what
to look for, but I'm not going to draw you pictures with detailed, color coded
instructions and sticky notes. Sometimes you have to put in a bit of work
yourself, which also helps you understand what you're actually doing so you
don't have to continue to ask the same questions over and over.

Sorta? Would you rather have it in a spreadsheet? Or maybe a pie chart with
some statistical graphs included? Above, I'm telling you to leave it well
enough alone and it will take care of itself, without intervention. If you
absolutely /have/ to have messages go out instanty, then take a look at
Synchronet's semaphores that trigger the events you need to force run (which
I'm fairly certain I gave you in the above paragraph - FIDOOUT and BINKIT)
when you want to run them.

Heck, you can even set a command to F-keys in Golded (using goldkeys.cfg in
combination with golded.cfg) to run the commands that trigger those Synchronet
events. You just have to read the documentation and figure out how to do it.

It seems I gave you every bit of the building blocks you needed in my original
reply, but since I didn't feed you all of the information (sometimes so
detailed enough to where you can just copy and paste) that you needed, on a
silver spoon, you seem to get bent out of shape that you're not getting the
"support" you need.

People (including myself) have specifically given you the exact way to fix
this issue (double origin lines) multiple times, yet you keep doing it even
after you fix it. There's only so much support people can give before they
realize it goes over your head every time.

Nick
