Boards

Aard features a board system that was created by Erwin S. Andreasen, 4u2abc.dk, aka Phunk, and is freely available. This board system was modified for clans and helpers, and security was added by Lasher.

The system is very simple to use, and all players should keep up on at least the Personal, MUDInfo, and Announce boards.

Basic syntax:

  • board: Lists unread notes on subscribed boards.
  • board <name or number>: Switches to board <name / number>.
  • board all: Lists note counts on all subscribed boards.

General info about these commands:
The board command lists and navigates through Aardwolf's note/forum system. It is used in combination with the note command (see help notes) to read notes sorted by content. You may choose to filter this content with the subscribe command- see help subscribe.

By itself, board will list any subscribed boards with unread notes, along with the board number, name, and description of the board's contents. You can switch to any board by typing board <number> or board <name in full>, such as board 1 or board announce.

Note Commands and Reading the Boards:
Ok, now you've subscribed to all the boards you want, and you want to know how to check the notes on them. Well, you can either just type note a bunch of times and read each unread note as it's presented (this way the system changes the boards for you as you finish reading all the unread notes in each subscribed board), or you can type board <Pick a board>, note list to see all the notes on a board (the ones marked with an asterisk (*) are unread notes, and choose which ones to read with note read <number>.

Basic syntax and info:

Type help note to see this in-game.

  note read <number> | "again"  Reads a certain note.

These commands are used for the new note system. Instead of just one board, there are several, each with its special purpose. See help forum and help subscribe for information on the board system itself.
