If you find it so hard to *use* a BBS (e.g. to ask a support question about BBS
software you're trying to use) - they why do you want to run a BBS? I just >don't get it.

I do not get it, either. If it is your facebook group, maybe it is time to take it down or limit who can originate posts on it (so you can keep it for annoucements, etc.)?

That said, I find myself thinking smiliar questions when I post about a possible bug in the bbs software support echo just to be told that the
correct place to talk about/report them is a website.

I do it, but I don't really get that, either.

That does seem backwards. Now, if it's an official bug reporting system (like sourceforge or gitlab), I understand that. At one time, we were going to use GNATS for Synchronet bug tracking/discussions and we *did* have Synchronet message base integration for that. Now we use gitlab, but I haven't really done much beyond the "echoing" of gitlab.synchro.net issue posts/disucssions to one of the support subs on DOVE-Net.

gitlab is nice, and having it echoed in does give us some idea what bugs,
and upgrades, are being worked on. Mainly when I find it irritating is
when I cannot remember my userID or password to get logged in first. ;)

Yeah, it's Marisa's. And she occasionally will pop in here to ask a question, but mostly is disconnected from those "in the know" about the software she appears to have such an affinity for. I find it weird.

She used to be on DOVE a lot but you don't see her much any more. I
*think* she is the one who is now developing a BBS package to run on Amiga systems.
