I used to love the bulletin boards on OSI shards, with the escorts/prisoner notifications. I know there is a bulletin board escort quest for the classic client. I have used it and enjoy it. Problem is I can't stand the classic client, and the enhanced does not support bulletin boards...
The casino scripts have a turboslotstat.cs. It is a constructable board that uses the bulletin board graphic. It links to the turboslotstatgump.cs to get info from an array and display stats of wins/losses etc on all the slot machines. It opens a gump, not a bulletin board, to display the stats. It displays and updates properly on the Enhanced Client.
So I have an idea but I am having problems figuring it out.
I want to see if I can get the bulletin board to send info to a gump, and use it to open and display the escorts/prisoners in the area.
This is the main section of code for the bulletin board (there is more, but this kinds of covers it. It repeats for escorts/camps/prisoners).
I am trying to figure basically, how to get that info into the gump.... I have a script I am playing with, but not getting there ha ha. I will keep trying - but if anyone has any pointers - I would appreciate a nudge in the right direction. As I have said before i am not much of a scripter right now, more of a cut/paste/cram it together kind scripter. 
I think my main question is, the existing bulletin board quest does everything with one script, the turbo slots uses 2 scripts - one to gather the info to the gump, another to display the info... so do I need to use 2 scripts the same way the turbo slots do? Like a BBgump and a BBboard script
