I have my 1 logon display for users when they logon named logon.ans, but I'm also seeing the SYNC logon display after my logon.ans. Anyway to remove it? I don't have any other files with the name logon#.ans, .msg, .acs, etc in the text\menu dir.

are you SURE
you dont have sbbs\text\menu\logon.asc ?

do you mean this file?

I noticed there were a few files starting with random_ in their name added to sbbs/text/menu, and it looks like one of those is chosen at random when someone logs on. One of them is the Synchronet logo. Maybe that's the one being displayed? It looks like you can delete that if you don't want it displayed.

Ditto. Three new files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 sbbs sbbs 2511 Jan 6 11:36 random_synch_gj_splash.asc
-rw-r--r-- 1 sbbs sbbs 1639 Jan 6 11:36 random_sync_starwars1.asc
-rw-r--r-- 1 sbbs sbbs 1674 Jan 6 11:36 random_sync_starwars2.asc

Believe two "sync" and the original "synchronet" image that has come with the BBS software for years.

Now it looks like it's a stock feature, so you don't have to make a custom script for that.

It is scripted, in logon.js:

// Print one of text/menu/random*.*, picked at random
// e.g. random1.asc, random2.asc, random3.asc, etc.
bbs.menu("random*");
