Version 1.17 beta 49: Fixed a bug when marking messages as 'read' when the user reads messages that were written to them - It was getting an 'expanded headers' error with recent builds (on/after December 1, 2017).  A similar error used to happen occasionally but not all the time.

Version 1.17 beta 48 - Bug fix: When listing messages in reverse order in lightbar mode and all messages are selected/de-selected, the checkmarks on the screen now update properly.  Also, updated so that when listing personal email, it will use the regular formatting colors rather than the colors for messages to the user, since all personal emails are to the user (the 'to user' colors for each email might be obnoxious).

If the 'chat [node]' command is issued but the user on that node is not waiting in the pager script, send them a telegram (request_page_format).  Useful if the sysop arrives a bit late or just wants to invite someone to chat.

semaphore_scan_interval is really an ircbot setting; moved it to the appropriate section, got rid of [scanner] section. Scanner does not need parameters.

Use a Frame for all output.  Call bbs.node_sync in loop.  Prevent node messages from being delivered.

Call uifc.bail() to clean up the screen before exiting.

Version 1.17 beta 47: Updated to set the message  number field length dynamically based on the number of messages in the sub-board.  It will be at least 4 but can be more than 4 if there are 10000 messages or more  in a sub-board.  Also, updated to not hold an open sub-board for a long period of time - It now opens a sub-board only when necessary.  This simplified the code a bit.  I also hoped it would fix issues I've seen where sbbs crashes sometimes when replying to a message, but it looks like it did not fix that.

Version 0.32 beta - Bug fix: After deleting the last poll in a sub-board, it now correctly goes to the main menu rather than reporting an error.  Also, after creating or deleting a poll, the number of polls in the sub-board displayed on the main menu is now updated.

Version 0.31 beta: Optimization: Updated to only build the area selection menu once, the first time it's used.  Also refactored a section of code there to go along with a bug fix in DDLIghtbarMenu.

Version 0.30 beta: Implemented a user configuration file to store last-read message numbers separately from Synchronet's messagebase so that SlyVote won't mess with users' actual last-read message numbers.   Also, updated so that when changing to another area, if the top item index is on the last page of the menu, then set the top item index to the first item on the last page.

Version 1.14 - Fixed an issue in the message area chooser where it was calling a function that wasn't implemented.  I had copied & pasted some code and did not copy one of the required functions.

Version 0.29 beta: Checked for the user's UFLAG_V restriction (not allowed to vote) in more places.  If the user is not allowed to vote, they can still view poll results.  Also, updated the poll viewing & stats view to say if a poll is closed.  Also refactored code where the Frame & ScrollBar objects are created.

Added a configuration setting, startupSubBoardCode, which can be used to specify an internal sub-board code for a sub-board to automatically start in if there are multiple sub-boards configured.  If this is set, SlyVote will not prompt the user for a sub-board on startup and will start in the sub-board specified by this setting.

Version 0.18 beta: Updated the vote option input for traditional mode (when voting from the 'view results' screen) so that it only accepts numbers and a comma for input.  Also, updated the close-poll behavior so that only the user who created the poll can close it (removed the sysop).

Version 1.17 beta 46: When inputting multiple vote options from the user, it now restricts input to just numbers and commas.  Also, updated the close-poll behavior so that only the poll creator can close the poll (removed the sysop).

Version 1.17 beta 45: Made use of the new Msgbase.close_poll() method to close a poll.  Requires the August 19, 2017 or newer build of Synchronet 3.17.

Version 0.27 beta: Made use of the new Msgbase.close_poll() method to close a poll.  Requires the August 19, 2017 or newer build of Synchronet 3.17.

Made a couple of minor updates - Displaying the ESC=Quit text when voting on a poll, and when viwing the status, it now outputs the number of each poll and the total number of polls.

After closing a poll and then quitting out of viewing results, the number of open polls shown on the screen will be correctly reduced.

Bug fix: When displaying the list of polls to vote on, it now only shows polls that are open.  Also, udpated the main menu to also show how many polls are open (in addition to how many polls there are in the area).

Version 1.17 beta 44: Added support for users to close polls (only if they created the poll or if they're the sysop).  I ended up using the ! key for that, since many other keys were already taken.  Also, renamed "Read Me.txt" and "Revision history.txt" so they don't have spaces in the filenames.

Version 0.25 Beta: Finished the code for closing a poll.  This is done with the C key when viewing poll results.

Made a small code change around where votes are entered in the traditional user interface (when voting from viewing the results).  Also added a condition where sysops are also able to close polls (although that functionality still isn't complete yet).

Updated to support multi-answer polls.  Requires a Synchronet 3.17 build from August 14, 2017 or newer.
Next, I want to add a command to close a poll (would only work for the person who created the poll or the sysop).

Updated to show the number of choices a user can submit for a poll, and restricted the user to choosing only that many. Also, started working on adding an option to let the user close a poll they created (while viewing poll results).  Requires the latest & greatest DDLightbarMenu.js (in exec\load).

Version 0.23 Beta: Started working on supporting voting on multi-answer polls.  It appears to be working.  Requires the latest & greatest DDLightbarMenu.js (in sbbs\exec\load).  It could still use a little refinement, such as showing the maximum number of votes (and limiting to that) and showing that the user can use the spacebar to select options in the lightbar menu.
