(New Prompt) -> [General Chat] 254 messages, scan completed.

Ok I have questions! :)

That might actually be difficult to do because the scanning prompt happens in a different function before it has any access to message base data. I guess I could open the message base there too to grab the number of messages it'd just slow things down a little bit.

I saw in another message you wanted a "/NOFOOT" option request but in this one you're asking for a new prompt to be added. I'm not clear exactly yet where you want these things (or what exactly you want it to look like)

There is prompt #131 that is already the "end of message scan" prompt and so I can assume NOFOOT would mean that doesn't display? Seems easily doable! But where is it that you would like to see an additional prompt?

Also have you experimented with the MQ menu command?

2. As work begins on themes, I wanted to run this feature by you and others. I think we're due for some kind of prompt organization now. I
was thinking at least grouping them by section of the BBS. Instead of number, make it something like:

The plan is that each prompt can be associated to a specific category and you can filter on category in the editor. As of now I have no plans to externalize prompts into their own files or anything like that though. Oddly enough I did this back in like 2001 with a Mystic 2.0 concept and it still never made it into 1.x yet.

Its mostly just a matter of me finding the time to go back through every prompt and figure out categories and default &# values for each prompt. All of that has to be done before I can code the software side. I wasn't able to start this process until after the new theme system, but I have already started it!

No need to slow things down for this. I prefer the speed -- but I think this
is because there is a misunderstanding. Prompt #130 still functions exactly
as is, the New Prompt is an additional prompt AFTER the scan has completed
(and would have the message count). The new prompt is in place of the destructive line wipe (that appears to be hardcoded). I'm wanting Prompt #130 kept, and a new prompt to supply the new information.

I saw in another message you wanted a "/NOFOOT" option request but in
this one you're asking for a new prompt to be added. I'm not clear exactly yet where you want these things (or what exactly you want it to look like)

The footer is prompt #131 ... I'd like to supress that and just let my menu command output a text so I can have a specific indication to the user what
kind of scan was complete with the MN menu command key.

I hope I cleared things up. I've tried tweaking with some tricks, but one fix breaks something somewhere else. The only way I can think of resolving it is adding a post-scan prompt string and a /nofoot suprression to MN. Thank you
for your time. Seems minor, but it'll allow me to jar Mystic a little bit.

Thanks again.

I see what you're saying, I think. You want a "Begin scanning" and "End scanning" prompt instead of just a "Scanning" prompt?

Yup.
