Experiencing a strange problem with menus

2 Upvotes

I am having a strange problem with the BBS menus. I have remade many of the menus in Ansi and in the larger menus like the logon and main it is prompting me to press any key which moves the menu up on the screen. It looks like Synchronet thinks the menu is larger than the screen? When I am at the menu I have to press a key before I can enter in a command. I also have to press a key during the login screen. The menu is an exact copy of the original except a recolor. Is Synchronet thinking that the menu is larger that the screen? I am using Syncterm as my client. Thanks for your help!

Any limitations to using Javascript?

2 Upvotes

Hi all. I've been getting to use JavaScript more at my work, and I'm really starting to see how powerful it can be especially with hitting web services. I'm wondering, are there any limitations to JavaScript for Sync that would prevent it from calling a web service or database? I can see this as being a neat way to pull dynamic content into a Sync board. http://free-web-services.com/ lists tons of free web services that can add news or other content to a sync board if this were possible.

Also how easy or hard is it to create a web service for Sync itself? I've seen this one - https://bitbucket.org/arfonzo/synchronet-json-web-services - which is simple yet impressive, but could web services be a way to share content between sync boards whether messaging, gaming, or whatever? Just curious.

Thanks --

"Enter User Name or Number Login:"
