    That's up to the sysop of the particular BBS If they want to make those user properties configurable or not. It's not a built-in/default feature of Synchronet, if that's what you're asking.

    Ah, so if I wanted to change any of those already set details otherwise on a standard Synchronet setup, I'd need to ask the sysop - Got it!

    There's no easy way for a user to change their own location. In fact, I think it's impossible as Digital Man indicated.

    The good news, I've almost finished a javascript version of the default setttings, which will allow the sysop to easily add and remove configuration

    it's easy for the sysop to make a script in a few mins.
    it just needs to ask for a string and then set it.

    there's .js user pref scripts and i made a baja one that's out there.

    Adding the location would be trivial, but will probably require you to squish something around and put some items on 2 lines, otherwise you're going to get some scrolling.

    I'd love to see this stuff reach upstream.

    maybe you guys can synergize.

    Synchronet offering NNTP lets me download messages when I do have an Internet connection so I can later read/write responses. Later, when I

    Wait, it does? Where?

    Modern Internet applications really suck for this, good luck trying to get this sort of flexibility on Discord, Reddit etc.

    Yeah, stuff like QWK packets and NNTP are really handy sometimes, wish more stuff had offline reading. It could, of course, be for ad/tracking reasons :(
