  • Trouble with new setup

    From Rick Smith@1:105/81 to All on Sun Nov 12 17:33:32 2023
    Hello All!

    I have a couple of questions that I could either not find answers to online or in other echos. I know areasep works well my question is if I have fidonet area F and MicroNet area M can golded display area M ahead of area F (or group I suppose). Second, I am using fastecho with proboard, if I write a message on proboard fastecho sees it and packs it for outbound. If I write the message using my golded fastecho does not see it and pack it, however that message can be viewed on the BBS? I must have something wrong wondering if anything pops to mind with anyone?

    AREAFILE FastEcho C:\FE\

    Thats what I have in golded.cfg

    Regards,

    Rick

    When you post a message in Proboard, what does Proboard do? Do you have Proboard setup to create a semaphore for Fastecho to run after a message is posted or when you logoff the BBS?

    If so, you have to do the same thing with Golded.

    AREAFILE FastEcho C:\FE\

    This option is only pointing golded to the message areas setup in Fastecho.

    You still need to have something that runs Fastecho to scan out mail. Which I'm assuming you're doing with Proboard, but not with Golded.

    Regards,
    Nick
