    Updates within last 24 hours suspected of changing node status to text shown in subject of this issue.

    This looks to be expected. If you read the commit message it explains why and what you'd need to change.

    I'm using the default text.dat file - should this default file not be updated too?

    I think the problem is that you have a script using the replace_text function whenever someone is using MRC (?). I'm not sure why "Multi Relay Chat" requires a special/custom action string, but that's what it appears to me is happening. Maybe just don't do that or change the string that's being replaced.

    "don't use the %s/%u/%d specifiers any more - use @-codes instead, if needed"

    My chat_sec.js replacement in mods is using %s - so I guess I need to change that ... ?

    Correct. You probably just want to change that to:
    ```
    bbs.replace_text(NodeActionCustomm, "running Multi Relay Chat");
    ```

    I'm not sure why you're using 720 instead of the corresponding ID for that text.dat string, but either way works. Using the text ID instead (i.e. `NodeActionCustom` instead of `720`) make it more clear what you're doing when reading the script.

    Do you mean NodeActioncustom (one m)?

    Yes. And a capital 'C', as it appears in the text.dat file.

    If MRC was installed an external program (in SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs) and then was invoked from your `chat_sec.js` using `bbs.exec_xtrn()`, you shouldn't need this replacement text in the first place. When running a program or script using `bbs.exec_xtrn()` the node status automatically reflects that.

    Does that mean I have to add it to a menu like "Main" - I wouldnt want it to be visable there.

    I've tried both methods (change to script and using a menu item) and both work fine.

    I'm going with your suggestion of having a menu item as recommended.

    Thanks for your help as always :smile:

    The program has to be added to a section, but it doesn't have to be visible. Set the "Access Requirements" to "SYSOP" and only you will be able to see it, but *any* user meeting the "Execution Requirements" will be able to run it via `bbs.exec_xtrn()`.

    No they can't.

    I have a testing area set to LEVEL 90
    then I have MRC set to access level and execution requirements set to 60. When a level 60 users tries to access it I get "Sorry, you have insufficient access to run that program. "

    The user must still have access to the external program *section*, as currently written. It's been that way for 24 years, but I'm second-guessing that now.

    So you put the program/script in a section that users have access to (e.g. "Main"), but set its access requirements to 'SYSOP'. That should work.
