Finalizing 0.32 release. fixed index file bug

removed useless vFileMode function from bbs-file.c, cleaned up / fixed bbs-setup.c, fixed message deletion, fixed user manager, added user list command ('users'), rmeoved bbs-page command from codebase, removed version command and integrated version string in help command.
This will sure not be done for the upcoming release. This is a feature that needs to be coded into bbs-setup. This is good as it does not mean changes to the server code. So there's a chance it may become part of a minor update of bbs-setup later on.
Edit Board Names
removed Contiki OS loggig component, commented out log_message() calls, replaced with printf() and general code cleanup
resumed work for 0.3.1.2 release. added last caller display after login, added custom ACL for new users, prepared message deletion in bbs-setup. consolidate variables, code cleanup and reduction of memory overhead.
New user default access
Feature has been implemented. Will be available with the upcoming 0.3.1.2 release.
This is not complicated. I'll ask for the new user default ACL in the BBS base setup and then this will be used. However, this will change the config file record and thus you may need to re-enter all base config data except for the user, board and TCP/IP config. The user, board and TCP/IP configuration will not be affected by this change so you will be able to keep your existing data.

I'm very happy to hear people like Contiki BBS. It's been around for quite some time but feedback has been rather low. Just to clarify: the project is not "on hold" or "dead", but there are a few other non-C64 related projects I'm currently working on. As for Contiki BBS, I'll probably have to remove some overhead in the code to free up memory for additional features as the Contiki OS framework itself takes up quite some RAM on the C64. I have added the option to delete messages to my to-do list....

Thanks for reso=ponding....I totally understand ...It is great for what it does and I was uysing iot as a C64 with RRnet way to learn about BBS's and then I was moving on to Image acttually....but there are several people who like and are using the Contiki I put up and have asked if I can leave it ...they like the minimalism of it onm telnet and actually its speed on a c64...so I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some sysop things that I could do but hadn't figured out.....Thanks Again!!

No, this is curently not possible. Please understand that Contiki BBS is a work in progress and does not claim to be a fully featured BBS system (hence the words "tiny, little" in the project description). You may take a look at "ImageBBS" (https://8bitboyz.com/2020/12/07/image-bbs-v3-0-released/) if you are looking for a free but professional, fully fledged BBS program for your Comodore 64. There's also Magnetar BBS (https://github.com/Commodore64HomeBrew/Magnetar-BBS) which is a fork of Contiki...
You may change the files login.txt logout.txt and menu.txt to contain whatever text you want. You need to edit them with a text editor on your PC and write the the changes back to the .d64 image. Keep in mind that every line, even the empty ones, need to be 40 characters wide. Check out the source and take a look at the files contained to get an idea how they look.
