The problem appears to be that if a new users selects to change their default editor, it's using the old default to send a message to the sysop. It's still using FSEditor. Once you get into the BBS and then send a message, then you get the internal editor. Seems like a bug to me in that the login process isn't re-reading the editor if it's changed. I would file a git bug report. -- End Of The Line BBS - Plano, TX telnet endofthelinebbs.com 23 .
