      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:129/215 476720aa       REPLY: 1:120/616 d029fc34       TZUTC: -0400        AG> the behavior is the same for both, but during newscan only. (index        AG> reader seems to temporarily change the group so MG displays correctly..        AG> standard reader can't read outside the current group at all except for        AG> new scans)              I figured that might be the case - the index reader is there to confuse you! ;)              The index reader doesn't actually use the current user's group, it reads the       group data and calculates a list of bases based on that group listing. Its a       totally different beast in how its programmed.              The traditional readers work a little different they just "ignore" the group       when scanning all groups as opposed to actually changing the users group. I       don't think thats the ideal way to do it, and if I redid it in 2021 instead of       1995 I would have it switch groups. I am guessing Renegade used to "ignore"       the group instead of switch and thats why I made Mystic work that way too?              There are some ways you can probably get it to work how you want.              If you divide your bases into groups by Network, then you can use the MN code       which gives the Network description that is assigned to the message base and       that will give you a result similar to what I think you want.              You could also do it with a small MPL script I think too and maybe I can whip       up something for you. Or I may just try to see if I can make it join groups       whichever seems easier and less probable to break existing setups. Let me       know if the MN mci code would work for you and if not maybe we can come up       with something for you.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/04/08 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Sector 7 | Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 457 616 123/10 131 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/215 305 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 220/50 80 90 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/30 227/114 201 702 229/100 101 310 424 426 452       SEEN-BY: 229/550 664 700 981 1016 1017 240/5832 249/110 206 307 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 633/280 770/1 2452/250 3634/12       PATH: 129/215 154/10 280/464 229/101 426           |
