I'm having a strange problem on my Mystic BBS. I am subbed to the UKRNEWS echo and am receiving messages. I can view them from my news reader on
Android (which connects to my Mystic BBS), but when logged onto the BBS as my normal Sysop user, I am unable to see any of the messages. I've checked
echo permissions, file permissions, echo base settings, etc. Everything looks correct.

SO my question is, is there something special about UKRNEWS that makes it different from other echoes? By all accounts it should be working like all
the other ones I'm subbed to.

What do you mean "I am unable to see any messages"?

I don't think there is anything special about the area. It is a new area in the last month or so. I haven't had issues here or on a MBSE BBS I also have here.

When you hit 'R' in the message menu on Mystic it tells you how many messages there are (ie. 26). If you hit enter it brings up a list of the messages.
But, when I hit enter, it just shows the message menu again. It doesn't do
that in any other echo, just UKRNEWS. So currently, the only way to access
the messages is from my news reader.

That's a curious issue. Does your log shed any light on what happens when you press "R"?

It's strange that your news reader is able to view the messages OK but the message viewer is not.

It might be a good idea to bring this up in the MYSTIC echo. James Coyle (g00r00) might be able to help with this issue.

Would like to host them but cannot find a real feed for them.

Is the the same as UA.NEWS News in Ukraine ?

Feel free to connect here if you like. UA.NEWS is in russian and UKRNEWS is in english.

If you do connect it would be interesting to hear how the messages display on your system.

I think there are 2, the one is in English and another in Russian. I suppose UA.NEWS might be the Russian one.

I know this probably isn't the answer, but Mystic has different access levels in each echo or message base, you can have different access levels for all options such as READ, LIST, VIEW, POST, etc. For instance my FIDO echo's all have regular access to list and read, but only users with legit real names
(which is a separate access level on my BBS) can post messages, It could be something as simple as that.. :)

Hope that helps some...

The first messages that flowed in the UKRNEWS area had the private bit set. On a Mystic BBS no could read those messages unless your name was in the TO: or FROM: in the header, very unlikely.. :)

That has since changed and messages flowing in the area don't have the private bit set anymore.
