  • New Scan Pointers.

    From Melkor@1:103/705 to All on Fri Oct 9 20:27:19 2020
    I have 10 or so message areas that are not saving my new scan pointers. They are networked so I checked the hub and the pointers there are fine. I can manually set the pointers for the message areas to last message but when I log off, the next time I log in and do a new scan they are back to what they were before. Ive ran chksmb and fixsmb but nothing fixed this issue. Any ideas what else I can do?

    I at first asked if it could be my hub for that network and checked what you suggested. The problem is on my end and I have not found a way to fix it yet other then resetting the pointers everytime I login.

    The problem would be on the hub-side. That sysop will have to look into it.
