Subj: REPLY TO MSG #1754 (SUBJECT NO GOOD)
Yes! That! Is one of the areas that bugs me, too, about the subject scan feature. This version of TBBS does not give me global control over that feature. However, I would REALLY like to see a "text scan" feature. They [eSoft] have a new release of TBBS on the market, now, but after reading the bug reporting file I am not willing to jump ahead into the upgrade. Actually, Joe, you've hit on one of my biggest complaints about online information, i.e., finding what you want it not easy or obvious. In fact, it's frustrating at best. You know it's there but at what level, what key words, what listing. It's enough to drive a guy to... Anyway, I'm doing TONS of thinking on this one subject alone. It's a challange, given the start of the "art?" in BBS hosting software. However, I understand that we do not live by BBS alone. The most successful BBSes in this country augment their service with mailings or mail order services. This is the key to a successful BBS operation, i.e., pump out the paper!! -Rick-
