      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 3:770/100 d6c90b21       REPLY: 1:129/215 fea9048c       TZUTC: 1300       On 04 Jan 2023 at 03:03p, g00r00 pondered and said...                g0> As far as it not updating the user field when you upgrade the user        g0> security level, thats expected behavior. Older versions would copy the        g0> start menu from the security into the user record, but now it just pulls        g0> the menu name directly from the security record.        g0>         g0> The reason for the change is because if you wanted to change the start        g0> menu for a security level in the past you'd have to then go into each        g0> user's record and update their start menu field. Now you can blank out        g0> all of the user's start menu fields and let it pull the menu from the        g0> system default or their security profile. You'd only set the start menu        g0> directly on the user's record if you really wanted them to have their        g0> own custom start menu.        g0>         g0> Hope I was able to explain that in a way that made sense lol.              I think I'll put up something in the FAQ about this as it seems to be       something that folks may need some further education / awareness on.              Your explanation makes sense to me but for those of us using Mystic for a       while I can see how what was a previously filled field now blank may be       concerning.              What I think this will do is make folks more aware of the setup / settings in       the defined security areas.              Kerr Avon [Blake's 7] 'I'm not expendable, I'm not stupid and I'm not going'       avon[at]bbs.nz | bbs.nz | fsxnet.nz               --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/12/24 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Agency BBS | Dunedin, New Zealand | agency.bbs.nz (3:770/100)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 114/705 120/340 123/120 131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7715 154/10 218/700 840 220/70 226/17 30 100       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 111 112 113 114 206 275 307 317 400 424 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 452 470 550 664 700 250/5 8 266/512 267/800 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 298/25 305/2 3 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 3 100 340 772/210 220 230       PATH: 770/100 1 317/3 229/426           |
