Synchronet has built a very fine online BBS List featuring
Synchronet BBSes.
Some of the BBSes in the list utilize a webpage list of Networks
of which Fidonet would be one of them.
I have reviewed a handful of those BBSes that indicate carrying
Fidonet echos and featured them in a table with additional info.
The table is located here:

something is wrong with this chart... the header at the top of the group listing of areas shows "Latest" which is the newest or more recent post
that has arrived... for the southeast star you show oldest which is not right... i'm also using the original default web scheme for sbbs which
may make a difference...
also, your square dog graphic is covering some of the text...

I should add a few clarifications to the chart. Thanks!
The "Sorted First by" means the ECHO sort order.
When we open a Sub-board/Echo at SouthEast Star, the first message we see is the oldest.

Thanks for letting me know! I did not have a Mac/Linux machine to play with. I'll get the graphic right over the edge. Believe me, I *did* try.
I started building the chart in Excel, and exported to html. Re-edits
were in Word. Fairly quick and easy ..and lazy, I know! :( The
process adds a lot of filler code, for sure.
...you can click on the date
field header and reverse the sorting so you see the latest and then read backwards... :ugh:

i used to use html generators a long time ago... i always went back into the generated code and cleaned it up... especially when changing fonts and the generator doesn't remove the previous font declaration... it was, actually, how i learned html code... very much like i learned B.A.S.I.C. back in the day by modifying basic programs i downloaded :snicker:

The web scheme looks great. I guess by default it is listing the
oldest messages first. Now after our little chat, I see you flipped
the initial sort order! <g> Looks good.

that's interesting... i would not expect that to stick... especially for
the guest account... anyone visiting as a guest can flip it...
..maybe the order of the sorting is not something that need be noted inIt has been since removed. The "feature" is now just mentioned in step "5".
a chart?

That is even more interesting! After our little chat I thought *you* as sysop had changed the default order,
but it turns out it seems to remember the last setting by the last
known Guest visitor? ...that is, *any* visitor?
Maybe that explains why when I swore that I saw the list oldest to
newest, it had flipped from newest to oldest the next time I dropped
by?
