//Hello All,//

How do I reply to a post in an echo? If it's obvious, I've missed it.

Thanks

When using the Synchronet default command shell, the command is 'A'. A shown on the "Reading Messages Menu":

ask your software developer or read the documentation

Have you considered ChatGPT or a BBS friendly variant?

thanks....who would have thought pressing A for answer was more logical than R for reply. Thanks

If you're referring to the Synchronet class command-shell reading messages prompt, 'R' was already taken for "re-read message". So, now you understand the logic. Other command shells do reverse the 'A' and 'R' commands when appropriate for mimicing other BBS software behavior.
