I need to get rid of "How did you hear about this bbs" and the avatar
chooser. I renamed avatar_chooser.js and haven't tested that yet. I ran findstr /i /s /c:"where did you hear about this" *.* but didn't find
anything.

. The rest of them I can live with, I believe.

I need to get rid of "How did you hear about this bbs"

Set [newuser] survey=false in your ctrl/modopts. As documented here: https://wiki.synchro.net/module:newuser

and the avatar chooser.

Set SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs->Main->Avatar Chooser->Execute On Event to "No".

I renamed avatar_chooser.js and haven't tested that yet. I ran
findstr /i /s /c:"where did you hear about this" *.* but didn't find anything.

What does "/c:" accomplish? I suspect you're just not using findstr correctly. The string is found in exec/newuser.js and logon.js:
/sbbs/exec/logon.js: options.guest_referral = "\x01y\x01hWhere did you hear about this BBS?\r\n: \x01w";
/sbbs/exec/newuser.js: print("\1y\1hWhere did you hear about this BBS?");

Thanks! I'm trying to be easier to deal with... I think I've got it now.


Maybe, I am trying though. Thank you very much, this should get everything working perfectly!

correctly. The string is found in exec/newuser.js and logon.js: /sbbs/exec/logon.js: options.guest_referral = "\x01y\x01hWhere did you hear about this BBS?\r\n: \x01w";
/sbbs/exec/newuser.js: print("\1y\1hWhere did you hear about this BBS?");

Oh, a little text substitution could be fun!

"What is your favorite marsupial?"

"What is the terminal velocity of a swallow?"

"What is your favorite marsupial?"

"How many licks does it take ..."

"How many roads must ..."
