📢 Latest Updates

January 20, 2026: System upgraded to BinktermPHP 1.6.5. We're doing testing on this new system - feel free to use LOCALTEST as a local discussion forum.

Welcome to myPoint! [ https://mypoint.lovelybits.org ] This is a semi-development instance and may have bugs. Use the LOCALTEST echo to check on recent updates or to post bugs.

Theme Support: You can now set your theme between Regular, Dark, Green Terminal and Cyberpunk. Support for custom themes is now available.

Message Sharing: You can now share echomail via web links
[---]

COMMENTS:

[1] This interface is quite nice to use on laptop or mobile. The custom theme changes follow your account from device to device.

[2] It offers a Share link option which makes it super easy to share messages to other message platforms. (A great way to expose fidonet/FTN in general)

[3] Marks messages for permanence or as a way for "reply later".

Just a heads-up on some recent BinktermPHP updates..

Thanks for the post :)

I'm pleased to say I now have multi-network support working in Binkterm (1.6.7). It's still in testing, but so far has been working well. File requests are not yet supported but I do have crashmail working now.

I've setup a new board at https://claudes.lovelybits.org/ - this is a full fidonet node (not a point like myPoint is). My hope is to build it into a more full fledged BBS over just being a mailer, but there is much work to be done (read: things to keep me busy when I'm bored).

Binkterm now also supports fuller customization options and now includes a dark green terminal theme and (my personal favourite) - a cyperpunk theme that's easy on my eyes. Some other niceties including colored message quoting and hyperlinking of URLs from echo messages are also in that release.

I don't have an ETA for when I'll merge the development branch into binkterm-php's main branch, but hopefully it'll be soon.

As always I'd like to thank Anthropic's claude for typing way faster than I do, as well as frustrating me with silly little bugs and patterns I don't care for ;)

Now I should probably think about writing an installer.

Cheers

Matthew

So there is a REPLY kludge, but it's wrong, because the MSGID of the message replied to is:

Ah.. I eventually found it with a global search. But the threading doesn't work here for those. I wonder what is different to make those fail?

Well.. THIS reply from you cooperated with the threading. So.. at least the "claudes" version works.

This is another test, to see if there is an improvement.

Yes, it's now correct. My msgid was:

And that corresponds with the @REPLY above.
