    No difference - still loads the version in /sbbs/text/

    I dont have a /mods/text/menu/ directory - I wasn't planning on changing menu files yet. Is this required to use /mods/text/ only?

    Re Mods directory - yes set to ../mods/ (the default)

    I asked you what answer.* files exist in your sbbs/text directory. You pasted a directly listing from your mods/text directory.

    No. But it might be a good experiment (to create the mods/text/menu directory and create a file there to see if it works).

    Ah - now I've created a /sbbs/mods/text/menu/ it now displays the file in /sbbs/mods/text/
