This information is using the most current version of Mystic BBS at the time of this writing, which is 1.12 A 31.

running 1.12 A46

Let me first say, my public and main bbs runs Synchronet (ATHEL) but wanted to test a few things with Mystic so here we are. Trying to get DOVE-Net from my system, not VERT.

----- ---------------
First, make sure you have a QWK account set up on the hub BBS. If this is Synchronet, make sure you log in and set the areas you would like, along with the message pointers. Make sure you obtain a list of the conferences and the QWK Base ID numbers, as you will need that information to set up the message bases.

1 - Open Mystic with "mystic -cfg" (or ./mystic -cfg in Linux).

2 - Under Configuration, select "QWK Networking"

3 - If nothing is listed in this menu, select "/" on your keyboard, and chose "Insert"

4 - Hit enter on the newly created network connection

So I followed these instructions step-by-step, ATHEL is the packet id. Downloads a QWK packet and imports. Can anyone tell me why when I login to my Mystic board that, posts for Synchronet Announcements show up in the HAM Radio sub? DOVE-Net is group 2 here, and groups are showing just fine.

There's maybe 2 of the messages bases showing with correct messages, the rest aren't in their proper section. I've confirmed the QWK Base ID matches the Synchronet Conference Numbers for all of them as well as the QWK Names.

It's the conference numbers that matter (not the names). Unless you have 30 subs in DOVE-Net *or* you have static QWK conference numbering enabled for those subs, then 2030 is probably incorrect. If you look at the CONTROL.DAT file included in the QWK packet downloaded from the hub, that should inform you
what the actual/correct conference numbers should be for that hub.

Thanks. Just give me a kick, I've been looking at the wrong screen this whole time. One has qwk packets from vert and the other from athel. Seemed odd mine would match. 2001-2022 works much better. lol Do this much longer I'm going to have to start a new workspace screen to keep the boards seperate.
