When using the options to read New Messages only, and skip to next
area with new messages; I observe a skip of areas.

i.e.
Area 1
Area 2
Area 3

If I'm reading Area 1, and reach the end, and say yes to go to next area.

It starts with area 3 not area 2 as expected.

Have you seen this behavior ? Could be my setup but wanted to inquire.



Here are my settings I think that are applicable to this scenario: pauseAfterNewMsgScan=true
useIndexedModeForNewscan=true
displayIndexedModeMenuIfNoNewMessages=false
newscanOnlyShowNewMsgs=true
indexedModeMenuSnapToFirstWithNew=true indexedModeMenuSnapToNextWithNewAftarMarkAllRead=true

When doing a scan to read new messages only, it will skip areas that don't have any new messages. Maybe thare are no new messages in area 2.

See if these screen shots explain it better. I read all messages, in first area. Completed said yes goto next, and it went to the 3rd.

Let me know if you need more details; or my settings.

Dude. Did you not read what he said above? The obvious answer is that
there are NO NEW MESSAGES in Area 2. That's why it was skipped.

Also, neither of the two links you posted in that gitlab link work.

The screen shots showed there were messages in area 2. Sorry the links

illustrate that. I'll see if I can post on another site.

Also, neither of the two links you posted in that gitlab link work.

Not sure why the links didn't work; they did for me.

Here is new link, evidently gitlab doesn't make uploads public in snippets even when snippet is public. Don't know how to change that.

Yes. The screen shows show there are "New" messages, if I can ever
get a URL that works for someone besides myself.


https://anonpaste.io/share/4fd67dbed0#53XLeH5NDVfIqge

works in chrome and firefox. don't know why it says it expired. was set to
15 days; and I'ved it up to 29 days.

Maybe I'll just copy screen shots to web space on bbs LOL

https://toolazy.synchro.net/images/ddmsgreader_user_options.png

From the other screenshots you showed, it looks like it is showing only sub-boards with new messages. I don't know why it would be skipping any of them, as I haven't seen that behavior, but if I do see it, I can investigate.

I have seen instances where when scanning for new messages, an earlier sub-board will happen to get a new message while reading a later sub-board (due to a network exchange via QWK or FTN), so it would appear that it may have skipped that sub-board, but it's because it initially didn't have any new messages. I wonder if that's what's happening for you?

The issue is happening for every sub-board it moves into.
I start on sub board 1, finish it and say yes go to next. It jumps to 3.
read 3 and say yes at end and it jumps to 5. all sub-boards list new messages in the index view. if I go back to them and enter them they have new messages.
the sub-boards all have New messages before I enter any of them as I have show and snap to new message sub-boards.
