The Major BBS Forums (Archive)

What sort of options are avalible for integrating Worldgroup and a webpage? For instance, if I wanted to display a real time list of people online. Or perhaps run a Grafitti wall on the BBS and display it's contents on a webpage. Also, is it possible to use a MajorBBS id as a regular email address?

Yes, yes, yes and yes. You can have a who's online list...provided that you get software to do this that works for WorldGroup. You can get Grafitti wall from Dialsoft which does both the telnet side as well as the web site side (http://www.dialsoft.com) but I'm not promoting them in anyway, but let me say the owner is a great guy and has been developing software for WorldGroup for some years.

You can have POP3 and SMTP access in WorldGroup for email access. You do have to turn it on and then your users would be like this.

Pretty simple really, spaces turn to periods.
