What terminal program are you using? Your terminal program might have
Ctrl-Q bound to do something else, so it might not be sending the Ctrl-Q
code to the BBS.
Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-S are potentially problematic because Ctrl-Q is the XON ASCII control code and Ctrl-S is XOFF. It won't be a problem in most Telnet or other TCP scenarios, but anything going over a serial link that might have "software flow control" enabled might eat those characters. -- digital man (rob)

But I also see that CTRL-Y
works too, along with /q. I was wondering when SlyEdit (ICE) opens, is there a way to change the bottom of it to say CTRL-Y (Quote)?

It already does (though not exactly that text). The bottom border of
the edit area (which has the text "Registered to: ...") displays a few
of the hotkeys on the right side ("CTRL (A)Abort (Q)Quote (Z)Save"). However, I did some testing after toggling my quot hotkey option and
there was a bug where it was always displaying Q there regardless of
my setting; also, it wasn't refreshing the hotkey displayed on that
line after I changed it. I've made a fix and a merge request. Thanks
for getting me to have a look at that. :) I had made it refresh the
scren in DCT mode when toggling that but not in Ice mode..

I see you made a update to SlyEdit, 1.92g. I updated my version and when I reply to a message and try and change the settings of SlyEdit (ICE) I get this error.term Node 1 <RickV>> !JavaScript /sbbs/exec/SlyEdit_Misc.js line 998:

Any thoughts?

I didn't make any changes that I'd expect to result in that. Also,
with some of my recent changes, SlyEdit_Misc.js no longer exists in sbbs/exec. Recently I moved that to sbbs/exec/load/slyedit_misc.js
(also, all lowercase). As far as the SlyEdit files, your sbbs/exec
should now only include SlyEdit.js. Your sbbs/exec/load should have slyedit_dct_stuff.js, slyedit_ice_stuff.js, and slyedit_misc.js.
Are you running your BBS on Windows? If so, I'm wondering if it might still be trying to use SlyEdit_Misc.js from sbbs/exec (maybe ignoring
the filename case).

I forgot to mention that I get that error when I try and use the settings on the SlyEdit menu..
Did you follow the advice I gave about SlyEdit_Misc.js and the other files that were moved to sbbs/exec/load? Please remove SlyEdit_Misc.js, SlyEdit_DCTStuff.js, and SlyEdit_IceStuff.js from your exec dir and make sure that you have slyedit_misc.js, slyedit_dct_stuff.js, and slyedit_ice_stuff in your exec/load directory, and see if your issue goes away.

I did, left Syledit.js in the /exec, and moved the other Slyedit* to /load.
And you're still having the same issue? The log message you posted earlier indicated that you didn't have the latest updates for the SlyEdit files - It mentioned SlyEdit_Misc.js (incorret case for the filename, since the new one is all lowercase), and the line number didn't correspond with what's currently in the Synchronet Git repository. So based on the information I have so far, I still say you need to update and ensure you have the latest SlyEdit files where they should be.

I'm not to bright about the symlinks stuff but used ChatCPG for help..
