• My avatar not being updated on Dove-Net

    From Nightfox@1:103/705 to Digital Man on Fri Jan 26 13:13:24 2018
    Hi DM,

    In the SYNCDATA sub-board, I see my avatar was exported just a couple days ago (on the 24th). Last I saw though, my old avatar was still being shown on your BBS. In SYNCDATA, I noticed my avatar was posted using my real name in the 'From' field in the header, although in the JSON it did use "Nightfox". Does it matter if the SYNCDATA post had my real name in the header?

    It is. If you edit your data/user/0001.ini file, you can change or clear the "last_exported" date of your avatar. That should allow it to ex-export immediately the next time your AVAT-OUT event runs. And the (new) timestamp in the exported message body should defeat duplicate message checking (e.g. here on VERT).

    No, that doesn't matter. It uses the configured "sysop name" (from SCFG).

    Thanks, I'll give that a try.
