    Its happened for a long time. the NNTP server works fine. But, when you subscribe to a new area, the first time you pull it crashes the NNTP server. You have to restart MIS to get it to work again.

    When I had the Windows NNTP running a long time ago, I didnt have issues, and it was the same NNTP client on my phone. ynews.

    But, I didnt run windows long so I cant say 100% for sure thats accurate.

    I should have the NNTP server moved into MIS2 by next weekend. At least that is the plan so far if nothing major changes. I'm not spending any time on
    MIS anymore because MIS2 is so close to being complete.

    The FTP server was by far the most difficult to bring into MIS2 but that is done as of this weekend!

    With the odd things I'm seeing happening lately, I figured it's time to bite the bullet and upgrade to the pre-alpha. However, when I go to the page, I'm not seeing obe for the Pi. Am I in the wrong area?

    I think the mys112a47_p32.zip is for the Pi.

    I'll just offer you this advice - while I know exactly how it is to think you want the 'new' features... once you go pre-alpha, you get stuck in the mix of upgrading whenever theres a new build, living with the certain bugs that there may or may not be involved, and ... if I could go back I'd stay on a46.

    YES, theres a marquee text thing that allows for text to dance across the menus/screen. (But RCS' Scrollz mod gives this function thru MPL...) Yes, theres the ability to set how many new msg posts your new users get to see at apply... yes, theres 132c ANSI -

    But its also a hassle to always be installing the new builds. Think it thru. A46 is great, and fully baked. Reliable. Secure. Etc...

    It's not a matter of new features. I was/am running across some strangeness that I thought and in one case heard that the prealpha would fix.

    Occasionally, messages have random blank lines in them. Like several. I seem to remember asking about this a while back, and someone said the pre-alpga fixed that.

    A couple of days ago, I was replying to a message, and accidentally hit Save when I meant to quote. When I tried to edit the message, I got dumped out of mystic.

    When I pulled up the Help screen while reading a message, to remind myself
    how to save it to a text file, when I tried to exit the Help scteen, I got dumped out of the BBS.

    And finally, after I add a oneliner on rcs1line, It shows the onelinersrs and no menu. Pressing any Key dumps me out of the BBS.
