    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.

    Hey Gamgee!

    On Mon, Apr 13 2026 20:58:44 -0500, you wrote:

    Yes, I realize they won't work in MultiMail, and I did NOT have the
    extra codes enabled in SCFG, but I do now, and still not displaying
    while reading on the BBS.

    Did you restart the server?

    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!

    Regards,
    Nick

    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.
