  • MSG Base Not Changing to Read

    From blade@21:4/151 to All on Tuesday, June 29, 2021 10:02:38
    Hey everyone,

    For the second time now, I've got a message base that won't change the new messages to "Read" after I've read them.

    So every time I go into the interactive message reader this base always
    showing unread messages.

    The first time I ran a purge/pack of the message bases and that seemed to do the trick but this time it doesn't appear to be working.

    Anyone have any tricks for dealing with this? Thanks in advance!

    I'm having the same problem. It's on the Fido echo where people can search
    for files. For some reason, the most recent message always shows as new/unread.

    Interesting! This is exactly where I'm having the issue as well.

    As sort of a work-around. I just discovered that if I delete the newest
    message from that echo, then do a message pack, that seems to have done the trick. (Perhaps that's what I did the first time and just had forgotten.)
