    Log Message:
    if avatars_lib.netuser_fname() returns false, don't create/update a file

    i.e. 'ctrl/false'

    This was just bad error checking in this script, but the underlying error (avatars posted to SYNCDATA from TL-QWK BBS) has been fixed with the previous change to avatars_lib.js (supporting dash in QWK-IDs).

    Log Message:
    install() no longer overwrites existing keys/values in modopts.ini

    [newuser]
    avatar_file
    avatar_offset

    [logon]
    set_avatar

    So if any of these keys pre-exist, they won't be changed

    Log Message:
    Add an 'export_all' modopts option

    Normally, this module only exports avatars for users that have posted and are able to still post messages.

    For other networked-avatar use cases (e.g. chat), a sysop may want to export all of their users avatars to a message base (e.g. syncdata).

    Log Message:
    Include the offending text in the avatars.js JSON parse warning

    When an "SBBS User Avatars" message's JSON block fails to parse, the
    alert() only said "Error SyntaxError: JSON.parse parsing JSON", which
    tells the sysop nothing about which text failed (SpiderMonkey 1.8.5's SyntaxError carries no position). The warning now includes the length of
    the joined JSON text and its first and last 40 characters (truncation,
    the likely cause on a QWK hop, shows in the tail), and the full text is
    logged at debug level for a sysop who wants all of it. Prompted by
    RickV's report in the DOVE-Net SYNC sub.
