    From The Paladin@21:4/126 to All on Sun Feb 3 04:58:12 2019
    hello to all

    I am trying to migrate from WWIV to Mystic and runnign into a small issue
    in the mystic -cfg screen for server options, into the domain name screen entry, my domain is paladin-castlebbs.mynetgear.com and if you look at this link (capture of screen) https://i.imgur.com/7pRIVrR.png my domain name is too long for the space permitted, is there a way around this (edit a file) or I need to find a way around to change my BBS domain name to make it fit. thanks for tips

    Ouch sorry about that. I've expanded the input to 45 characters now but in order to use it you'll of course have to download a version of Mystic that
    has the change in it. You can download from the link below and just replace the .exe files with the files in the link (assuming you're currently using
    the A42 release)

    Oh geeez... Yeah, something a bit shorter would be more memorable. lol! I would've gone with something like pcbbs.mynetgear.com. Take my opinion with a grain of salt though, it's your BBS, do what you want! :)
