Re: Feature Request - Send new messages

Thanks John.? I was thinking in terms of a user-configurable timer, but what you describe below might do the trick and would also be less confusing for new users.

Ok, Lee.
I think it would be a good idea to delay a bit and to randomize the
time so it is less likely to connect to several simultaneously. I'll
look into it.

Hello John G8BPQ,
I'm looking for an enhancement to the "Send new messages
without waiting for poll timer" functionality.
I'd like to see a hold-off timer associated with sending
new messages. This would be a one-time hold-off as opposed to
the normal forwarding interval. This would be particularly
useful on HF in cases when you want the first attempt to
forward to happen relatively soon but not immediately.
If one sets the normal forwarding interval fairly low in
order to send a new message fairly soon, a problem can arise
in HF when conditions are not good. In that case the BBS will
try over and over to resend at relatively short intervals,
which is not good for either the radio or spectrum
utilization.
I think this would be a nice enhancement for internet based
forwarding also. I've found if I check the box circled above
on too many forwarding partners so that lots of simultaneous
forwarding is launched for the same message, I end up with
"line begins with F" type errors on some BBS's. I probably
butchered that description a bit.
Thanks,
Lee K5DAT
