  • Skipping sub-boards?

    From Ljayo1@VERT/AMIGAC to All on Sat Feb 3 12:11:59 2018
    So as we all know, when you first open a BBS you want to read the latest sub's and replys. However, sometimes within DOVE-Net and on some other BBS servers, i find that Im not intrested in a particular thread on a sub. When the BBS trolls through the new stuff, it then jumps to the next thread with unread posts. Now, am i missing something or can i skip these entire subs and mark them as read, or can i mark them as "unintrested"?

    I awate responces ;P

    Yes, use the 'B'ypass command from the Reading messages prompt. It'll ask if you want to remove the sub-board from future scans.

    Go to the settings and uncheck any sub you don't want to scan.
