There is only one file area at trmb.ca right now. I'll get that fixed up
soonish. I have to take it offline for a time and work on another issue not
BBS related. Hopefully I'll have it up and running smoothly in a week or two.

I think most browsers have dropped or will drop support for loading html from
ftp sites.

 AA> Also, sometimes when I click on [Message Groups], I get this:


 AA> /* $Id: index.ssjs,v 1.10 2006/02/25 21:41:08 runemaster Exp $ */

 AA> load("../web/lib/msgslib.ssjs");

 AA> template.title="Message Groups on " +system.name;

 AA> if(do_header)
 AA> write_template("header.inc");
 AA> if(do_topnav)
 AA> load(topnav_html);
 AA> if(do_leftnav)
 AA> load(leftnav_html);
 AA> if(do_rightnav)
 AA> write_template("rightnav.inc");

 AA> template.groups=msg_area.grp_list;

 AA> ETC..

I've seen that happen too from time to time but I'm not sure why.

 AA> FYI, I am doing this from my replacement laptop: Win7, Firefox 82.0.2
 AA> 64bit.

My firefox on slackware is 68.?.?. I suspect as we move up in versions I'll be
having trouble with ftp also but haven't noticed yet.

I'm thinking of using webv4 with Synchronet. That'll solve any ftp issues
since it uses all http rather than ftp. ftp should still work I think, just no
00index.html support in most browsers.

 Ttyl :-),

... Oh, I almost forgot . . . It's absolutley VITAL to insta
