Image 3.0 FIX: Sub Boards - Message Header Displays but not message
Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2025 1:12 am
If you have just set up your Image BBS 3.0 and are in the Sub Boards and you are having an issue where the message header displays but not the actual message when reading a post.
Like This:
Check to make sure the nm.origin file is present on the E-Mail drive.
If not, like shown below, you will need to create one.
Make sure you are in local mode, then go into the IMAGE BBS EDITOR by typing WF at the main prompt.
Below is a sample nm.origin file using 1 80 column line.
Now go ahead and save the text. NOTE/WARNING/ACHTUNG!!! You must save the file in IMAGE BBS v3.0 with the .put command, ans .save does not work in the local editor! This is something I have been meaning to fix but have not gotten around to (I have an idea on how to re-implement it but laziness keeps making me put it off!).
The file needs to be named nm.origin and placed on your E-MAIL drive.
Now go back to your message bases and give it a test. You should now be able to see the messages that were not displaying before.
NOTE: If you are experiencing this issue in versions prior to IMAGE BBS v3.x you might also want to verify you have the correct ML 1.x ++ NET and ++ POST versions loaded. The Turbo/REL/Networking for the older version of IMAGE BBS were serialized and must match the Serial Numbers of ML 1.x.
