| ====== Online User Interaction ====== | ====== Online ====== |
| |
| Synchronet has a small toolkit for **finding and contacting other users** — those currently online and those who've used the system in the past. Most of these are loadable modules invoked from the [[user:shell:|command shell]]; some of them are also accessible via [[user:ctrl_keys|control-key commands]] from anywhere on the BBS. | This page has moved to [[user:online]]. |
| | |
| ===== Live: who's online right now ===== | |
| | |
| ==== Ctrl-U — Users Online ==== | |
| | |
| ''Ctrl-U'' from anywhere on the BBS lists users **currently logged on**: their names, the nodes they're on, their connect type/rate, and what each is doing right now. Default module: ''nodelist -active''. See [[user:ctrl_keys|Control-key commands]]. | |
| | |
| ==== /L — List Node Activity ==== | |
| | |
| ''/L'' from the Main or File Transfer prompt — or from within a chat session — lists the activity of **every node** on the system, including inactive ones (showing their last-known state). Like ''Ctrl-U'' but more comprehensive. Default module: ''nodelist''. | |
| | |
| ==== Ctrl-P — Send Instant Message / Telegram ==== | |
| | |
| ''Ctrl-P'' from anywhere lets you send a private one-line message: | |
| | |
| - **Online recipient**: arrives on their screen immediately as an //instant message//. | |
| - **Offline recipient**: queued as a //telegram// for them to read at next logon. | |
| | |
| After ''Ctrl-P'' you'll see a list of online users and their node numbers. Enter a node number, or ''A'' to broadcast to all users on the system. Type your one-line message and press ''<CR>''. | |
| | |
| Default module: ''privatemsg''. See also [[:module:sbbsimsg|InterBBS Instant Messaging]] for cross-BBS messaging. | |
| | |
| ===== Lists: who has accounts ===== | |
| | |
| ==== U — User Lists ==== | |
| | |
| ''U'' from the Main prompt opens the User Lists module. You're prompted for which list: | |
| | |
| * **U** — User Account List — every user on this BBS (subject to sysop visibility settings) | |
| * **S** — User Account List of (current) Sub-board — only users with access to the sub-board you're on | |
| * **L** — Logon List for the Day — who's been on today, with timestamps | |
| | |
| Quick keys: ''[UU]'', ''[US]'', ''[UL]'' from the Main prompt. | |
| | |
| Default module: ''userlist''. | |
