« ISCA BBS Client : Documentation

The ISCA BBS Client uses two lists of users: the friend list and the enemy list.

Friend List

By setting up a friend list, you can have posts and express messages from your friends displayed in special colors and also receive a customized wholist that shows which of your friends are online. To see the special wholist, press <Ctrl-W> from any ISCA BBS forum prompt.

To set up the friend list, use the <F>riend list menu in the client configuration menu. You can <A>dd or <D>elete friends from the list, view the <L>ist, or <E>dit the description for each friend who is shown on your special wholist.

You may also add colors to the descriptions of your friends on your special wholist. To do this, just add one or more of these special sequences to the description.

Enemy List

You can set up an enemy list to have posts and eXpress messages from people you don’t wish to have contact with filtered from view. When you receive a post or eXpress message from someone on your enemy list, it will not be displayed.

To set up the enemy list, use the <E>nemy list menu in the client configuration menu. You can <A>dd or <D>elete users from the list, view the <L>ist, or change <O>ptions.

Currently, the enemy list Options lets you choose whether the client will display a message on screen telling you that a post or eXpress message was filtered. Choose Yes to see these messages, or No to not see the messages.
