  • 1000+ dup message boards?

    ran chksetup.js and got the following 4 board dups like 1000+ times.

    !Duplicate msg sub-board internal code in Local: LOC-ANN
    !Duplicate msg sub-board internal code in Local: LOC-GEN
    !Duplicate msg sub-board internal code in Local: LOC-SYSOP
    !Duplicate msg sub-board internal code in Local: LOC-DEVS

    Checked my local board group in scfg and it said I have 1961 boards when I should have like 6...

    When I go in to edit sub-boards, sometimes I get the boards as they should be, sometimes I get nothing.

    Suggestions? Can provide .cnf files as needed.

    Yeah, send me the .cnf files and I'll have a look-see.

    Hey DM, just to let you know, the fixes you put into scfg (when run with scfg -f) fixed this problem and removed my duplicate/blank msg boards.

    Thanks much,
    -Andy

    Cool. I'm very curious how they got added/corrupted to begin with.

    If I can re-create the problem I will let you know. I can't even begin to guess at this point what happened. I mean the .cnf files, what other programs besides scfg mess with them?

    Any .js modules that use load/cnflib.js to install or modify the .cnf files (e.g. the CoA stuff).
