    this was a classic QWK areas shifting problem that happens when areas are added or moved... if QWK used actual area tags instead of numbers, this wouldn't happen but it is long past the time when this could have been fixed in the implementation...

    it is a long-standing (aka classic) problem for QWK setups... QWK uses message area numbers to identify message areas... if a BBS adds a message area, all the areas after it are pushed down another number... so when a user has written a message in area #4 and the BBS has added a new area as #3, the user's message is posted to the new #4 instead of the old one which is now #5...

    eg:
    original:
    area#1
    area#2
    area#3
    area#4
    area#5

    now insert a new #3...

    area#1 -> area#1
    area#2 -> area#2
    new#3 -> area#3 or area#3 -> area#3
    area#3 -> area#4 or new#3 -> area#4
    area#4 -> area#5
    area#5 -> area#6

    you get the same type of problem when areas are removed, too... it is especially noticible on systems that prefer to have their areas listed alphabetically instead of in creation order...

    I thought that QWKnet was promoted as perfection. ;) :/ :D

    while i understand your statement is a joke, QWKNetworking is not the same thing... it may have similar problems with message area numbers but it is used for BBS<->BBS message exchanges... not BBS<>user exchanges...

    Some BBSes may work that way, but not all. Synchronet, for example, has long supported 'static QWK conference number' assignment, so re-arrangement of message areas by the sysop does not have to mess-up users' (or QWKnet nodes') pending REP packets (resulting in the problem you described).

    Thx for illustrating that.

    ..QWKNetworking is not the same thing... it may have

    My bad. I assumed that the "problem" would then traverse the
    network. But it's really just one BBS encountered the shift
    problem.
