Hi all, hopefully a fairly quick question. I already ran this by Deuce inã#synchronet, but he wasn't quite sure and suggested I ask DM. Rather than sendãa message directly to DM, I figured I might as well use the echo! Woooo!ããAnyway, I've written my own shell in JavaScript. For the option that users canãselect to scan for new messages, I have it executing:ãã bbs.scan_subs(SCAN_NEW, false);ããThis works great at scanning new messages, but, it fails to constrain the scanãto only the areas that are enabled in the new message scan config. I looked atãthe the other copies of the JavaScript shells (lbshell.js and whatever theãclassic one is), and they're doing the same thing that I'm doing. Whileãperusing the CVS repo, though, I noticed that lbshell.js had a change at oneãtime that didn't use bbs.scan_subs(), but actually went through a list of theãareas where the user had enabled new message scanning, and then scanned thoseãareas individually for new messages. I'd like to avoid that if possible, but,ãthought I'd toss it to the echo and see what you all think.ããThanks!ãã-- MysticOneãã---ã þ Synchronet þ :: The Realm of Dreams :: telnet://bbs.mysticone.comã

The same thing happens for scanning for new messages when I log in, amãprompted, and select "Yes".

I suspect you're confusing one type of scanãconfiguration with another. If you logon using a stock command shell andãperform a new-scan, do you have the same problem? Make sure you're configuringãthe *new* message scan (e.g. &N from the Synchronet classic command shell) andãnot the *your* message scan (&S) - these are 2 different stored message scanãconfigurations for 2 different purposes.ãã digital man (xbox-live: digitlman)ããSnapple "Real Fact" #175:ãIn 1634, tulip bulbs were a form of currency in Holland. ãNorco, CA WX: ---.-øF, --% humidity, NaN mph --- wind, --.-- inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

I just thought it was funny. :) I've not messed withãthe lbshell.js again yet since I've been a bit busy, but will do it a bit laterãtoday and compare the results.
