Hi,
When I am reading the message bases on my personal system I have to hit enter between each
post instead of the right arrow key.
Also I see the message number in a different place on the display as well. What do I need to
do to get the behaviorof my system to be the same as the rest of the Synchronet systems I
have access too?

What do you have set in SCFG->System->Loadable Modules->Scan Msgs? If you have anything set
there, that'd be a 3rd part message reader module which may behave differently than Synchronet's
built-in/internal message reader logic.

If you provided a screen capture or *any* more details, it'd be easier to know for sure exactly
what you're talking about.

Here is the text on my screen.
The module you suggested I check does not have anything in the options.
It seems to be blank.
