    I get to "Enter Name"... and I do that... BUT...
    When I press Enter, or Tab or Arrow... I cannot get to the Password Entry box... It just takes me back to the first menu to select Logon, New User
    etc...

    F.Y.I....

    I see your name in the WWW (WorldWideWeb) 1liner MPL list your system, but not in the user editor anymore. So here is what I think might have happened. Sometime ago, I restored my users.dat from a backup file. In order to just completely remove a user name who posted (crap) that I found offensive. It is possible that you first applied here around the same time (just before or
    after he did). That maybe be why your record is missing form my users.dat
    You might need to just apply again (sorry about that) have you tried to
    reapply yet.. as a new user? That is the only thing I can think of that would explain what could have happened. Again sorry for any inconvenience.. Anyway, be aware I did not mean to target you in anyway. I should never try removing
    a user name like that in the future. *shrug* Looks like it has a bad effect
    on other people.. damn-it Shame on me (:

    Hello garycrunk!

    I just Re-applied for Visiting Sysop Status ...
    Registering as a new user worked...

    Cool, the visit sysop status passwd is mysticr0chs ..Since 95% of users this days are indeed visiting sysop's ..hehe I don't mind just posting the passwd in

    a public echo for all to see (: Any user can upgrade their level and time limits per day plus make any changes off the main menu in [S]etup. My hopes where to be as user friendly as possible. Hence [?] help is also a global command. Thanks Gary for supporting the bbs scene and keeping it real.

    It's Ok.. I can be a normal person there, just wanted to let you know the password does not work...

    Many thanks... I was able to Log on and get that access upgraded...

    I do need to tell you about my experience on the BBS.
    1) When connecting, sometimes it takes upwards of a Minute sometimes Two
    for the Ansi file to display fully.
    2) I was able to navigate to the File menu, but it took more than 3 Minutes for the Ansi's to display but it seemed to Lock-Up at the point where it was asking for Input... I waited a full 5 minutes and still could not press any
    of the menu items... so I had to "Hang-Up" to get out of the system.

    This is not just this one time either, the past few times I've logged onto your system, it seems sometimes it Locks Up... taking a very long time when displaying the Ansi screens... I'm not sure why it does that, I wonder if others are experiencing the same thing or if it's just me...

    What computer system are you running? What O/S? What version of Mystic
    are you running?

    Maybe someone else could Log On and check to see if it seems to Lock-Up or take a very long time to display screens...

    It does not happen all of the time, but more often than not, it seems to
    Hang on a screen display...

    It could also be the Network connection also...

    Just F.Y.I.

    I've only seen screens hang.. (have trouble loading) the few times that you reapplied here again. Know one else... yet.

    What computer system are you running? What O/S? What version of
    Mystic are you running?

    Window XP SP3 Same as yours Mystic 1.12 A33 /32

    Maybe someone else could Log On and check to see if it seems to
    Lock-Up or take a very long time to display screens...

    Others user have called .. but I've seen know screen loading delays. For
    their connections.

    It could also be the Network connection also...

    That's true, maybe I should just reboot my system it's been up for weeks without any problems. Thanks for the feedback info. Will keep my eyes on anything weird.
