I Moved my Mystic from Windows to Debian a few months ago, and it doesn't
have the Taglines feature of the windows version. Am I missing something or
am am I just out-of-luck?

Thanks for any help.

It most definitely does have the tagline feature.

mystic -cfg > Configuration > New User Settings 2 > Taglines = On

.. which is a default setting for new users.

mystic -cfg > Editors > User Editor

.. check to make sure you have it enabled for your user.

You also should be able to enable/disable it when logged into the BBS. Ah yes, found it:

When you're in the message editor, hit "/" on an empty line, then hit "T" for tagline settings.

Anybody got some cool updated taglines to add to the database?

Howdy,

As part of running clrghouz, I've been extracting the tagline from messages.

Perhaps I should make it available?

clrghouz=# select count(*) from taglines;
count
-------
8761

There will be some in there as a result of bad parsing of messages, but most are real taglines.

I'd certainly take a look if they were available somewhere.

One of the first I found with a DDG search..

"Sassy, Classy, and a Bit Bad-Assy!"

LOL

"Sassy, Classy, and a Bit Bad-Assy!"

I've seen similar ones, like "Classy, sassy, and a bit smart-assy!"

I can't see it. Normally that's where it is but maybe the Debian version
source make didn't include it. Thanks though.


-- added by myself tagline :-)

Sure, I'll look at ways to make it available.

I could make it available via HTTP API pretty easily.

Making it available via a file, transferred in a binkp session would also doable.

I'm caught up on something else at the moment, but I'll put it on the list.

Not sure what you mean by "the Debian version source".

I have the Linux 64-bit version installed in a VM, and it's there plain as day.

Could be that you're running an old version. Maybe taglines weren't added until a later alpha.
