• Update all message base colors

    From LockeDown@21:2/148 to All on Sunday, June 23, 2019 13:28:53
    Not sure if anyone else has run into this problem but I am trying to change
    the colors for messaging when reading for all message bases.

    I tried to TAB / Select All and do the / G global edit and hit CTRL-U to
    update and it asks if you want to update 0 changes -- almost like it doesnt
    see the color options as viable global changes or least does not detect them properly even though now I see the global colors are set at the global
    setting but the child message bases never change their color scheme.

    Has anyone else tried doing a mass color change for message bases after the fact recently and got it to work?

    Be sure you have toggled "yes" also for the color changes you want to make.

    You are a life saver! I didn't understand the context of all those "no"
    values but makes sense and was able to make the changes!

    Thanks Al!

    I just tried it as a test and it worked for me.

    To the left of the color option you are changing, you did switch No to Yes. Correct?
