Menus

The BBS menus are the core of the BBS system. It is where all BBS commands and functions available to the user are defined and setup. Mystic BBS supports an unlimited number of defined menus which can be setup in any way, allowing a totally customizable and unique interface to the user.

When first entering the menu editor, you will be prompted to select which language definition you'd like to edit. It is possible to have different sets of menus for each language!

After you've selected the theme you'd like to edit, you will be shown the main menu selection screen:
