  • UNUSED printing as default "To"

    From DustCouncil@21:1/227 to All on Sun May 25 17:54:28 2025
    I suspect that, somewhere along the upgrade path, I didn't properly update the prompts file, but it could be something else.

    Whenever I go to post in any echo on any network, the default To: field is populated with UNUSED. (It should be "All.") Does anyone know how to fix this or confirm my suspicions of what is causing this?

    You are correct, you need to find the prompt and update it, the correct prompt is:

    Message base "To" input default value
    Prompt: 104/554

    Thanks so much for this; that was an easy fix. You know it's funny -- it has probably been years since I've used the prompt editor and it seems ridiculously obvious now that I've fixed that. Thanks for the pointer; working properly now.
