A N N O U N C I N G N E W S F L A S H v 1 . 0 As the sysop of a BBS, surely have noticed that users almost NEVER bother reading welcome/news bulletins. As soon as the little "More y/n/=" prompt appears they skip the entire bulletin and as a sysop you have wasted your time posting the bulletin and the user misses out on some important information. After a little research into why users never read bulletins I discovered that they usually only want to read it once, and that they get accustomed to just aborting them. NewsFlash will attempt to overcome this problem. What NewsFlash does is only force the user to read the bulletin once. Since they only have to read it once, user's will tend to stop and read the bulletin carefully. Why is NewsFlash v1.00 worth running? o Displays bulletin only ONCE to every user o Colour tokens available. o Cheap registration. o Flexable. o Easy to use. o Allows you to set a security level for every bulletin. o Security level can be set to just one security level or security level and above. o Easy to install. o Easy to read documentation. o Close author support. o Bulletins non-abortable by default on user's first reading (unless specified otherwise) o A Canadian product. o And MORE!
