  • Realname kludge

    From Martin Foster@2:310/31.3 to Stas Mishchenkov on Monday, September 14, 2020 13:12:00
    Hello Stas!

    Looking at the kludges with my Fido Point software, I see a "Realname:" kludge in messages posted from the Telegram side of the gateway. The value
    in the "Realname:" kludges is sometimes, but not always, the real name followed by the Fido AKA of the poster. The value in the "Realname:"
    kludge in messages posted by me from the Telegram side of the gateway is always "0".

    Just asking :)

    Regards,
    Martin

    This is a well-known bug. If the gate doesn't know your real name, it substitutes zero, instead of doing nothing at all. Since this is a purely aesthetic flaw, moreover, from time to time causing a wave of jokes about this, I have not yet corrected it.

    Have nice nights.

    Ah, thanks for explaining that.

    OK, there's no rush, keep up the good work.
