  • Base Naming and oddness

    Hello all,
    I've been looking for the inconsistency here that's been leading to strange behaviors.
    My Mystic system will not let me post to the General Chat base. When I strike P for post I do not get any options for ALL or any particular user. I can post to any other base though. This is leading me to think it might be in the base name and that it needs to be FSX_GEN rather than General Chat.
    Also when I strike B for node browse I don't get any thing, that's been consistent since install.
    Think I'll try and get all my bases covered ... then I'll circle back, it must be something in the mutil files doing this right, in the mailin.ini I created?
    Okiedoke, Monday Monday... off to make the donuts.

    ... The dog ate my .REP packet

    The B for browse of the node list is something you need to create, there is a section in multil.ini which you need to turn on then enter each nodelist location of where you have the nodelist. Once done, you can set it to run. I do this each night during my nightly maint. I also have a standalone version for those times that I get a new network installed and want to add the nodelist right away. Check out mutil.ini there is a bunch of sections to it and you should go through each section that you want to use and turn them on and edit them to suit your needs.

    If you are not allowed to post in the fsxNet general message base I would check the Post ACS in the Message Base Editor, if you don't have an access level set up for posting it won't allow you to post any messages. Check that section and the particular message base to see how it is set ..

    ... "I am" is the shortest sentence in English. Is 'I do' the longest?
