    Mike,, The other day after signing on my wife talked to me for a bit while the pop up that shows personal posts was on the screen.
    I only glanced at it and remembered some of the entries but when I looked at the screen again the pop up had timed out and I hadn't written down the entries

    If I tap on my Name to show the Mail and Log Out options, the Mail option isn't the same thing as what the pop up shows.

    Is there a way to get that pop up info to appear on the screen again while I am still signed on the BBS.

    Thanks, Ed

    Probably not. The "Mail" option tells you what private messages are
    waiting for you, if any. The pop-up shows posts that people have sent you
    in the echoes (and may also show private msgs, I cannot remember). Once
    the BBS thinks it has showed it to you, I don't think there is a way to
    trick it into doing it again, unfortunately.

    Thanks Mike,
    Now I know that isn't part of the CCO BBS program.
    I would have to bother Rob about that setting, but I won't do that.

    Your Tagline about trying made me think how trying I am always asking questions to the SYSOP about using the BBS.
    My wife knows that I'm VERY TRYING too. ;-)
