    From DesotoFireflite@1:103/705 to All on Saturday, May 19, 2018 06:58:34
    Something crazy is going on with MatchMaker lately. When you open it, all you see is a cluster of like 3 or 4 hearts and blank screen. If you hit enter, it will scroll to another blank line. The only way to get out of it, is to hut "Q" and then the "ESC" key many times, then it will go back to the main menu. I tried restoring it from a backup, and I also reinstalled it new, with the same results.... External setups look good. Running win 10 with SBBS version 17 build of 1/30/18. Any Clues what to look for. Thanks

    Here is everything. The door has run flawlessly for years on end. I don't know when the problem started, as it was reported by a user. The last time I was in it, about 3 to 6 months ago, it worked fine.

    What is that Clean-up command-line supposed to do?

    It's working here for me on Windows 7-32:

    The timed event settings don't have any effect on the door-operation.

    That's just a counter that lets me know how often the door is used, I have it on every door. The series of 3 to 4 hearts tell me it's prob a corrupted file. I will delete the door compleatly and start from scratch, hopefully I can figure whats going on. I'll let you know if I figure it out.
