Hey DM,ããI've followed the posts from Nigel/You regarding 3.20 being upgraded from 3.19 and some QWK message areas being messed up..ããI've created a new system, compiled today "ALTTEST", and upgraded my test environment - which is essentially a "blank" synchronet with very little config. Until today it didnt receive any DOVENET.ããIn my testing with qnet-http, I've noticed mail exported from ALTERANT to ALTTEST the messages are posted to the wrong subs.ããI've checked the sub numbers on ALTERANT (that is used for VERT), together with the sub numbers in ALTTEST (and via msgs.ini) and I cannot see an error.ããToday, I went onto ALTERANT and back dated Synchronet Discussion so that I would receive 20 messages for ALTTEST.

BTW It let me give 2 subs the same conference number - I'm thinking that would cause problems? (Or perhaps thats a desired outcome..)ããI guess I dont understand QWK enough, but it seems you have to manage these conference numbers in multiple places - and thus an opportunity for mistakes.
