    Is there an option to set "last read" aka "message pointer date"
    in Synchronet? (An RG type of feature that lets users set a date
    for messages to be considered "new" so they don't have to scroll
    through ancient messages.)

    yep synchronet has that. i even wrote a script that asks my users if they want to catch up.


    If so, can that feature be utilized via the web interface?

    you sort by date. have you looked at the web interface?

    I had no idea that Synchronet was this viable. I was into Mystic
    for the longest time because of it's likeness to Telegard, and I
    hated the stock Synchronet boards, but I'm more interested in a good


    now we have tons of stock mystic boards.
