 CJ> Hi BrokenMind, no worries at all. To display the list of active interbbs
 CJ> users on your Synchronet BBS, you'll need to do the following:

Hi Chad,

None of your advice about setting up InterBBS messaging on Synchronet was correct.

The InterBBS Instant Messaging module is documented on the Synchronet wiki here:

http://wiki.synchro.net/module:sbbsimsg

The answer to Brokenmind's question is in the "Install" section under "Logon Event". Specifically:

"
To display a list of currently active users (on other inter-BBS instant message capable systems) during user-logon, add an external program to SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs->Main (or your section of choice)->Available Online Programs... and configure as follows:

Name                       Synchronet IMSG List
Internal Code              SBBSIMSG
Command Line               ?sbbsimsg -l
Multiple Concurrent Users  Yes
Execute on Event           Logon, Only
Pause After Execution      Yes
BBS Drop File Type         None
"
