Hi all,

A user of my BBS has reported me something curious that I have been able to reproduce: if I choose to use the internal BBS editor and post a message anywhere, after using /S to save and publish the message, it gets aborted instead, so it is the same as using /ABT.

No errors are reported to the log, so I think it is a graceful abort. The others internal editor commands works well (such as /L).

If I use an external editor, everything works perfectly, so it is something that only happens with the internal one.

Any clue where to look for?

Regards,
Carlos

i think this was corrected the other day but you don't say if the message was one line or empty or what was done to reproduce the problem...

It's a bug in v3.17b that's already been fixed and available in v3.17c.

Somehow I thought this message thread was referring to FSEditor and thought was
the built in editor ... sorry for my confusion :)
