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, helpers and added security by Lasher. As time passes, not sure who this fine fellow is, but boards are here to stay.

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 note') 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'.

Type <subscribe> to see this.

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.
