Calling `system.lastuser` in a loop is slow, better to save the system.lastuser value make *that* the loop limit.

Absolute paths are not portable to other systems. Use system.data_dir instead. --- SBBSecho 3.37-Linux

Not going to use the sysop-configured preferred date output format? use system.datestr() instead.

Gemini obviously doesn't respect the jsobj model! It has been spanked and corrected :smile:

I've used AI to help code some JS stuff for Synchronet, and in my AI prompts, I usually tell it I'm writing for Synchronet's JavaScript object model and point it to this documentation page: https://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html

I also do that, well, I've pointed Gemini at the documentation a few times but I tell it to use the synchronet object model. I've not personally touched any of the code, all the corrections I passed to Gemini to fix. Only thing I added was the comments on top so I hope it's slowly learning.
