   Expanded Help on Message Timeouts for Myrddin's Bulletin Board (1 of 2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's only a couple of things that need to be understood in order to take
full advantage of message timeouts.
  
1: Once a day, the TR_TIMEOUT attribute on the bbpocket should be triggered.
   Some games already have a way of accomplishing this. For games that do not,
   simply have a wizard execute set the 'autotimeout' global parameter:
      +bbconfig autotimeout=on
   Turning that parameter on sets up the board to take care of its own daily
   triggering.  Setting the paramenter to 'off' turns off the BBS's internal
   triggering.

2: There are 3 different timeout values:
  
   The global parameter 'timeout' (set via the '+bbconfig timeout=<days>'
   command) sets a default timeout that will be set on any new bb groups
   created after the execution of this command.
  
   The group parameter 'timeout' (set via the '+bbconfig <#>/timeout=<days>'
   command) sets a default timeout for the group <#>. Any new messages
   posted to this group will inherit that timeout.
  
   The user command '+bbtimeout <group>/<message list>=<days>' will set the
   specified timeout on individual messages. Players can only modify their
   own messages, wizards can modify any messages. Players can only set
   timeouts equal to or less than the default timeout for the board, wizards
   can set any timeout.
  
   In all cases, a timeout of '0' indicates no timeout.
