Nice ANSI!
I also tested a script to actually post ansis, as it is not that easy to
do that with synchronet tools.

Try 'jsexec postmsg.js' from your exec directory (or anywhere
if your exec directory is part of your PATH), and you'll see how
easy it is to post a message to a sub-board.

it never worked for me. i can post nothing other then colored ascii
using the postmsg.js as soon as i posted an Ansi with real Ansi blocks, the Ansi got destroyed or shifted line be line.

Post a link the problematic file. If it has really long lines, that
could be a problem.

Check this one https://github.com/chairmanmow/synchronet_ad_poster
i have not tested it myself since, before i knew about its existence, i asked claude ai to help me create my own script. But it looks good to
me and should do the job.
Let me know if it works for you.

I might get around to testing that, but it's more involved than I
think it needs to be, and motivation for doing that is pretty low.
I may just continue to post boring ASCII/text ads... :-)
