Hi, I noticed that the fidonet forums were displaying the short name for my echo areas instead of the long name so I went and made a change in web/lib/forum.ssjs to show the long name/description instead. That way the forums are more consistent when compared to the Dovenet forums, which always seem to show the description, and it also makes the fidonet areas more human friendly. ;-)
I changed line 61 from
msg_area.grp_list[g].sub_list[s].name
to
msg_area.grp_list[g].sub_list[s].description
and this seems to display the long name for all my fidonet areas. After making this change I noticed no difference in how the dovenet forums were displayed.
