  • Strange thing

    This might be better asked in FSX_MYS, but as this is the echo concerned zi figured might as well ask here.

    I have a lot of questions about stuff I'm trying to figure out with mofifications to BBSes. So I was using the Indexed message reader on Mystic
    to select the base for one of my qyestions and happened to notice the this message area was not listed. When I figured out how to list all areas, and it showed back up I saw it had 50 some odd unread messages going back a few
    days.

    As I log on several times a day, I found this unusual.

    So my question is, how might I have managed to make it where I was skipping this area in my new message scans, and how would I undo that?

    When reading messages on mystic you can press "T" to toggle your newscan setting so if you press that, it will turn that area off. Synchronet has a feature like that too.

    If that happens you have to press "Z" from the message menu in the affected group and turn it back on.

    That's my best guess.
