  • SEEN BY ISSUES

    From Daryl Stout@1:103/705 to ALL on Mon Oct 30 18:43:00 2017
    I am getting a strange designator in my SEEN BY line with the FIDONet
    Echoes under ECHOCFG.

    The ONLY FTN message network I have is FIDONet...and I'm a regional independent (1:19/33), with only 1 connect to 1:396/45. All of the other message networks on the BBS are done via QWK Networking.

    The problem is that it's showing SEEN BY 31999/999 or something
    similar. I have checked my SBBSECHO.INI file, and there's nothing of
    that in there.

    Any idea what I'm doing wrong??

    Probably nothing, this seen-by seems to be originating from your uplink...

    Bye, Wilfred.

    I posted a message in Synchronet Discussion and in the Region 19
    Sysops echo. Hopefully, we'll get to the bottom of it.

    It's probably something simple...but with a BBS, that's usually the
    thing that causes the most grief.
