running 1.12 A46

Let me first say, my public and main bbs runs Synchronet (ATHEL) but wanted to test a few things with Mystic so here we are. Trying to get DOVE-Net from my system, not VERT.

So I followed these instructions step-by-step, ATHEL is the packet id. Downloads a QWK packet and imports. Can anyone tell me why when I login to my Mystic board that, posts for Synchronet Announcements show up in the HAM Radio sub? DOVE-Net is group 2 here, and groups are showing just fine.

There's maybe 2 of the messages bases showing with correct messages, the rest aren't in their proper section. I've confirmed the QWK Base ID matches the Synchronet Conference Numbers for all of them as well as the QWK Names.
