Thank you, well dont have time to write a script for that, was just putting it out there for if there is another Synchronet BBS update, it might be worth adding in. Maybe I'll talk to Marisa, maybe she can add it, since she is hosting me :) Its not that big a deal as I only have one person like that and I can manually edit it, in UEDIT it looks like.
