  • One sub's pointers aren't being saved

    From nolageek@1:103/705 to All on Tue Dec 31 13:50:44 2019
    One of my FTN networks has a sub that, no matter how many times I read it, or set my n-scan pointer manually, I keep getting prompted to read the messages from #1 (which is from 2016.) Doesn't seem to be affecting any other messages areas in the network. Any suggestions?

    You can use the &P command to actually examine and modify the new-scan pointer value for a sub-board. Perhaps that will help you realize what the issue is.

    Or you can examine or edit pointers in the file data/user/####.subs.
