I think Nightfox is referring to an issue I brought up. I loaded
DDMsgreader on my board and all of the newscan pointers were set to 1 -
when I did a newscan of all boards it started with the first message on
some of the boards. On those boards I manually read the last message by
entering the message number.

I tried using the QWK "set newscan pointers" option to a current date
(yesterday) and the newscan was still starting from #1 on some of the
areas that I hadn't already manually reset.

I put DDMsgreader back on a few days ago, and manually reset any of the
areas that reset to #1. I pulled a couple of QWK packets over the past
few days, and when I did a newscan, 2 of the DOVE echoes newscan
pointers were set to message number 1.

I'm not ruling out an issue on my end - could this be a message board
corruption issue?
