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!
If you have any questions, or wish to file-request a copy of
NewsFlash using the magic name "NEWSFLASH" please direct them to the
