Does anyone know if the board system was finished? In the middle of making a board for a certain guild, I discover it does not seem to work fully.

Zofar is level 20, and not in that guild.

Zofar glances over the notes.
Zofar reads a note.
Zofar removes a note.


Only Immortals should be able to remove notes. Only those in the guild should be able to view a note.

Or am I doing something wrong?

I think you can remove your own notes. I have vague memories of people being able to remove notes that were addressed to them, also.

Was written by Zeno, to all. Turns out I was doing it wrong. Took a look at this, and realized why.
bool can_post( CHAR_DATA *ch, BOARD_DATA *board )
{
  /* If your trust is high enough, you can post. */
  if ( get_trust( ch ) >= board->min_post_level )
    return TRUE;

  /* Your trust wasn't high enough, so check if a post_group has been set up. */
  if ( board->post_group[0] != '\0' )
  {
    if ( ch->pcdata->clan && !str_cmp( ch->pcdata->clan->name, board->post_group ) )
      return TRUE;
    if ( ch->pcdata->council && !str_cmp( ch->pcdata->council->name, board->post_group ) )
      return TRUE;
  }
  return FALSE;
}


So the level has to be higher, pretty much in the Imm levels.

Wait, that's can_post, is there another one for can_remove?
Zeno USA #4
I didn't see one, which strikes me as odd. I can't remove them if not in the guild though.


note remove 1
You can't make any sense of what's posted here, let alone remove anything!

That's odd. I guess that if you can_post, then you also can_remove. :-)
