I added the screencode MG to my ansimlst.ans to show the message group as
well as message base...

When a user goes to a group/base and uses (R)ead Messages, (F)orward it works fine.

...but during a new message scan (all groups/bases) the group shows as the currently joined group and actual new scan message base. the new scan message group won't change during the new message scan.

Anyone else notice this?

Yea, its because MG shows the Message Conference that the user is currently IN. So even tho they are scanning other Conferences it displays THEIR info... TBH that code shouldn't be used there.

techinically so does MB =p ... but you're right, i'm removing it.

there's just so many 'general', 'bbs ads', 'test msgs' etc. msg areas among
the networks it would be nice to know the group. no wonder why so many
sysop's put the network name in the msg base name.

Hmmmm - you know, thats a point you have right there BUT... MB does changes as the user scans thru the message bases. :/

I guess, using the logic I had when I took out MG.... it doesn't make sense. I'm glad, that MB does seem to change... but yea; why the heck don't the other. :P
