  • System bulletin don't seem to work

    From Nicola Mettimano@2:335/601 to All on Sat Jan 28 01:17:18 2023
    Hello I am trying to use the system bulletin; I can read that create another file like bullet3.asc (or more) is enough but when I log in mystic don't warn me that there is a new bulletin to read.
    The command line on my prelogin is "bulletin bulletin bullet check"
    Ideas?
    Thanks

    It looks like I forgot to update it when I changed the last login date to use a Unix-style date. I will fix it in the next build. If you want to fix the one you have you can edit bulletin.mps and make the following change:

    Old: If DirTime > UserLastOn
    New: If DirTime > DateU2S(UserLastOn)

    You'll have to use mplc to recompile it afterwards. You can run mplc -all in your Mystic BBS directory to do that.
