    Howdy,

    I had a few things that werent quite right with it, and instead of debugging it, I reverted back to the original way.

    You can always let me know if you see anything that doesn't behave as expected, and then I can try to fix it..

    I know, but Im time poor at the moment.

    There were 3 things that I noticed:

    * My mode of operandi when logging in and seeing the pink banners that there is mail to me, is to read it first. IE: "Scan msgs to me". Then I go back and read all new mail.

    I started to notice that when I went to read all mail, it was missing messages - and I assume that my last read pointer was being set because of the read all to me, and thus anything new before the first message to me was being skipped.

    * When reading all new messages to me, if I had more than 1 (eg: 3), and I replied to one of them, when I finished reading the 3rd, I then noticed I had more than 3 to read - however the additional ones were duplicates of the 1st 3.

    * When reading messages and going to the next group. My laset read message number was being set for the next group, not going to the last read message in the group. (I alerted to you of this issue already).

    IE: If I was reading message #5 in sub A, and then went to sub B where the last message I read was #10, it would start me of at message #5, so I was reading old messages again.

    I'm wondering if using Nightfox's "DDMsgReader" module may be the
    cause of them not displaying properly. Gonna see if I can remember
    how to NOT use that for a minute...

    If there's no option in DDMR's configuration, then it is purely based on the SCFG settings.

    I have asked the MM author a couple of things over the years, and
    gotten absolute silence back as a response. Probably not likely to
    get anything there.

    Bummer. Then again, the source is there if anyone else were up to the task. ;)

    Thanks for the reply, I'm gonna keep banging on it for a bit, until
    I lose interest and wander off to something else... ;-)

    LOL. I do that far too often these days!

    Yes, DDMsgReader uses Synchronet's settings (as configured in SCFG) regarding using colors for other BBS systems. I've verified that DDMsgReader works as expected in this regard.

    I hadn't, but just did a few minutes ago and see no change.

    Yea, I don't see anything in DDMR configs... I have all BBS flavor
    codes enabled in the FSX message areas, in SCFG.

    I haven't heard much of Thiel, but I have heard of Curtis, and listened
    to an interview or two. His focus seems more political, commentary on
    the state of Western Civ than on technology.

    You should do some more listening & reading. Thiel owns Plantir, which
    is spying on you *right now*. He's the "other guy" that came from
    Paypal along with Musk. Both are from very well known S. African slaveholder families.

    Yarvin is incredibly influencial to Thiel, JD Vance (He's the one that propped him up and made him a thing -- his "pet project" (his words)). He's "behind the scenes" because he's one of the biggest influencers in what is happening right now, directly with Thiel, Trump Admin in
    general, some other tech bros like Sam Altman, etc. This is a crew that
    is actively and very purposfully breaking down states so they can be grabbed and managed as "Network Cities".

    So........ these guys are like Soros, Bloomberg, Hoffman, etc..., only financing the other side? It's OK when they do it?

    You're fine with what the likes of Soros and Bloomberg do? Their impact
    on society and government is perfectly fine, right?

    All sounds like a grand conspiracy, but like you said, they do in fact talk in the open. They just don't "advertise".

    It is indeed a grand conspiracy, and the big boys don't advertise. They
    just control and manipulate.

    I think we've strayed well beyond the no-politics rules around here, and
    I'm hereby bowing out of this conspiracy ...errr... conversation.

    I hadn't realized (until you said this) that you could enable/disable it per message sub-board.

    While I get it that you want to do this for FSX only at this point, try following the route I gave you and enable all of these:

    SCFG > System > Extra Attribute Codes...

    If that works, you may have to go to any other message groups and DISABLE them per sub-board. I'm just seeing if it works this way, as I have them enabled everywhere including above. If it works, we may have to ask DM if that is intended, or if it's a possible bug (to have to enable them system-wide, then disable per sub-board vs. only enabling them per sub-board while system-wide is disabled).

    Now that I just read my explanation, I could see having to enable them system-wide first, then disable them where you don't want to see them.

    I don't WANT it, Id like to avoid it, but freedom and modern society are sadly no longer compatible. This isn't the 1990s anymore. Australia is going the same way, and some politicians have been blunt and said that we need to crack down on freedom for social cohesion.
