Hello,

I am new at the BBS stuff and I am relatively dissoriented. It took me some work to actually realise how to get here and how to work with the messaging. This is my first attempt to write a full-fledged message, so please pardon if it looks like a total mess.

Well, i thought that I could somewhere find a programming thread to debate and find some help (im somewhat of a beginner in CPP and Java and my programs are sometimes quite buggy). If you know any place like that, please tell me where can I find it. I would be really grateful.

Thanks for support.

Welcome! You've found the local message area. If you go to the messages menu and select the [j]ump to area command, you'll see a list of message areas. Each are networked with other BBSes and have a bunch of messages arranged in topics. DOVEnet might be a good place to start.

Thanks!

I am now able to change discussion places, and do basic navigating. I am still struggling a little bit, but i think that it is now just a matter of time until i fully master the navigation system. I have also dome some settings at newscan so i think that now a new step for me to overcome is here;
i know that you can do a lot of things at BBSs, and so far ive got to some
text games and node-to-node chat. However, to my knowledge, there is some archive-sort of thing so i think that my next steps should be to familiarize myself with that functionality. Im wondering if it will be compatible with Windows 11, but i think it should be. Putty will hopefully do the rest.

Thank you very much again, and i will write again if i become stuck somewhere again. Hopefully that doesnt happen tho.
My best regards,
g4br13l.
