  • Menu command is locking up the bbs system.

    From Phil Taylor@1:275/201 to All on Sun Jan 1 23:59:32 2017
    If I try and use this menu command its locking up the bbs system and the only way that I can fix it is by killing the ghost node.

    Has anyone else had this issue?


    Here is the menu command that is causing me the issue:

    No... so you're using a windows version and a slightly earlier alpha right?

    If you use the R option to read a message base does that work?

    What message groups and message bases do you have set up and can you read
    them without issue using other message menu commands?

    Here is the menu command that is causing me the issue:

    Display Text | (I) Area Index Reader
    Access | S500

    I see that you have the access set to S500. Does this even work? I thought 255 was the highest access you could use.

    ^^^ It might be that. Mystic only allows up to a security level of 255. Try entering a smaller access level (255 or less) and see if that works.

    I figure it was probably a typo, and you meant "50" instead of "500" =)
