Hi Y'all... There was a time when I could post ANSI ads automatically in
Mystic, and it worked awesome BTW, I did something and now I went to try doing
it again and the messages now post and look like crap.
I'm assuming the files are trying to auto-wrap the lines that extend out 80
characters. I'm not sure what I did when it was working...
Ideas??
Thanx

.... Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?

I get the same issue, its not super pronounced but the same screen displays
fine when you log in.. I save at 79 characters in ANSI and it still botches
that one little section. I figure I'll just redo it eventually.. or maybe some
skilled and very bored ansi artist will take pitty on me and do a proper one
lol. I kinda just figured it was me.

Try removing anything in the 80th column and re-saving it. As you said, it may
be wrapping because of that.
I think most ansi editors act the same in this regard: Load up the ansi in a
drawing program (I tested on Pablodraw to make sure it was the right key
combination), hold down ALT, and hit right arrow once (this will move the
entire ansi to the right one line), then left arrow (this will move the ansi
back to the original location, but the 80th column will be empty).
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Nick
.... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Makes sense ... there could be something hidden...

I've been given great feedback ... I will look at tightening things up a
little.
