    Hello everybody!

    Alot of BBS post there ads with a ansi display, but Golded doesn't diplay that. It just displays the code. Is there a way to have Golded display these ansi codes correctly?

    No, but there is something much better.
    Many of those have certain keywords in the subject.
    Do this:
    // Define Twit subjects.
    TWITSUBJ "[ANSI]"
    TWITSUBJ "[AD]"

    And you will be freed of most of that junk.

    That's because alot BBS sysops doesn't care if their ads can be read or not.

    but Golded doesn't diplay that. It just displays the code. Is there a
    way to have Golded display these ansi codes correctly?

    Yes, there is. But you won't like it. ;-)

    The TwitSubj method that Ricsi suggested would be the easier way. As far as i remember you can set a standard twitmode and toggle it with the "t" key in the reader.

    Regards

    Short answer: Golded doesn't support ansi, <CTRL>A or pipe codes.

    Golded was designed to read and reply to text messages only.
