Hi DM,ããWhile using my message reader (written in JavaScript), I've noticed that if itãhas a sub-board open with a MessageBase object and lets the user post a messageãin that sub-board, in Linux, the MessageBase object doesn't seem to get updatedãwith the number of messages in the sub-board. In Linux, it seems that I haveãto close and re-open the sub-board for it to refresh with the latestãinformation on that sub-bobard. In Windows, that doesn't seem to be the case -ãAfter posting the message, the MessageBase object seems to get updated and hasãthe correct number of messages in the sub-board. Is that a known issue? If aãJavaScript script has a sub-board open, it it generally safest to close theãsub-board before posting a message in that sub-board?ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

Still don't know actual root cause, but just odditiesãthat were major abnormalities. My CentOS 7 system I'm testing out now, andãlooking to migrate my BBS to, since it's so easy to move Synchronet around whenãneeded. Mostly I'm just trying to get away from Arch/Manjaro fully because Iãdon't want to maintain my in-house repo for them anymore, and that becomes aãsticky situation when it continues to be updated all the time.ãã Ps>> I even went above and beyond and made a DOS door maintenance scriptã Ps>> that would parallel run through each door that was configured in theã Ps>> script to allow running 2+ dosemu sessions at the same time one forã Ps>> each door, and tracking of each one. ãã Ps>> Unfortunately the one limitation was: I ended up using 4DOS 8.00ã Ps>> (Freeware), to get proper logging done.

But yeah, otherwise, 4DOS is awesome. Now freeware, makes it soãmuch more awesome. The simple fact that %_DATE and %_TIME existed in 4DOS butãnot FreeDOS's command.com just makes me go hmmmm... FOR in FreeDOS doesn't evenãhave /F, or any of the switches MS-DOS's FOR had. :/ The only way, with pureãMS-DOS, to extract the date and time into usable variables was to get a thirdãparty DOS program, from GNU, sed, and awk, just to export the date to a fileãand read it back in then delete the file. Horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE. ;)ããI tried CentOS before, since I'm a big user of it, and prefer RPM over anyãother package format. But, with no tools and little current knowledge at theãtime of what I'd need in order to run my BBS sanely and fully.. I opted to useãsomething that already had it all. Now that I'm well enough beyond that, I wasãable to build all the RPMs myself, so now, CentOS 7 definitely has potential.ããAnd as you say, it's rock solid as a server. I wanted to get it on CentOSãbecause most of my other VM's are already CentOS, and I wanted to be able toãmanage it with Chef like I do everything else. And because Manjaro and Archãboth, no matter than acpid was running, they would not shutdown when kvm sentãthe ACPI signal to shut down, so many times they got forced offline uncleanly.ããI think by the end of this coming week, I'll have my BBS moved over to CentOS 7ãfully, and nearly transparently, and sadly even better setup than before, sinceãI'm taking the time to make things work simply better. ãã)))[Psi-Jack -//- Decker]ãã...

It seems to happen when Iãreply to a message using my reader. It happens rarely and randomly, so it'sãdifficult to reproduce. I've noticed it in Windows (I think Psi-Jack isãrunning Synchronet in Linux?).ããThe other day I made a small JavaScript script that opens a sub-board with aãMessageBase object, lets a user post a message while that MessageBase object isãopen, then closes the MessageBase object.
