Hi List,
Generally my users are happy with DXSpider. However there
is one variable confusion for quite a few of them. This is the DIR/N
command. Some users mostly use dir/n and they report finding that some
new messages are not included in the cluster output with that command.
Some others report doing dir/n on two consecutive days and getting
an identical list to the previous day.
Question: 1) What process keeps track of which messages each user has
had displayed with the dir/n command.
2) Does the dir/n command only cover new messages which
have come in over the last 24 hours , instead of
displaying
all new messages since the user last used the command ?
This is causing a lot of confusion with my users who were weaned on AK1A
which kept track of such things. As sysop I have to rely on this user input
as I get everything displayed anyway so don't get the same display as them.
My remote sysop was the first to notice this when he did dir/n as a user ,
followed by dir/n after claiming his sysop rights and seeing the messages
which were missing as a user.
