If you are using my DM> msglist module, maybe try disabling that. Yeah I am using a custom one but I believe its from Eric.. It has been working all this time until just last week. Its when at main menu and I hit "J" for jump to area, I think? then there is the list of my groups dovenet local sportsnet and fidonet, the rest of them work from that menu its only fidonet that hangs it up. A user told me he can see fidonet areas but can open them he gets the loading... Maybe something wrong with fidonet msgbase? I did notice today when I was going through them all of them were set to sysop acccess (probably always was I just didnt notice) but I could not use the clone to remove access restrictions I had to manually change each one. Maybe thats not how that works I do not know. Anyhow thanks for thinking about it, I just find it curious its only fidonet affected. ---- Regards, Rick Smith (Nitro) ....
