    Anyone out there willing to point me to the whos online and last callers correct display files? I am assuming I can customize these?

    I believe on a default install they're actually prompts. Take a look at these:

    Who's online:
    138, 139, and 140

    Last callers:
    141, 142, and 143

    First one is the header, that can be modified with an ansi by plugging in (pipe)DFansifile. 2nd one is the list format which might need some trial and error, and third one is the footer, which can also be modified with an ansi.

    Yikes all this stay at home is giving way too much time to bother all
    of you and work on my board!

    Do it while you have the free time! ;)

    Regards,
    Nick

    They are prompts. You can use a custom header/footer if you want and specify them in your language prompts.

    That content all rests in the string editor. Do a search from the
    string editor (alt-a I think) for last call and/or who's on.

    You can edit them in the string editor or if you want to use a display file just put | D F ricksmith.ans in the string and create your ricksmith.ans

    If going with option 2, stick those funky | ! 1 mci codes on the top of everything else.
