Hello Rick!

this morning it lost all my last messages read and it reset all the numbers.. Did that make sense? so for instance my netmail went from
156 0 back to 156 156*?

I can say for the squish messagebase that it stores the lastread pointer via a user number. Every user have it's own lastread pointer. Looks like some other tool is using your pointer 0 which is the default for golded.

Workaround: Use another lastread pointer number for golded. Attention, if you are directly working on the BBS system that pointer number may be used by another BBS user. Try to find your pointer that the BBS uses for your account.


SQUISHUSERNO <index> (0)

This sets the lastread index number for the Squish *.SQL lastread
files. Lowest number is 0 (zero), highest is (in theory) 65534.

If used, this disables the use of USER.BBS to find the index
number, and will in effect also stop GoldED from creating USER.BBS
or any new entries in it (useful in a single-user point system).

If a Squish msgbase is shared between several users, and you don't
want to have a USER.BBS (recommended in such a case), each user
must have a unique SQUISHUSERNO in their GOLDED/GOLDAREA.CFG.
