Still not working for the regular users, takes them right to the message base. It's like it's not seeing the second part, and giving everyone the first part.
see below, I changed it as you suggested.
!include sbbsdefs.inc
!include file_io.inc
!include dir_attr.inc
compare_ars LASTON EQUALS 0 OR REST G
if_true
# If New User or Guest, go to Local Message Base and Read News...
SETSTR "LOCAL"
MSG_SET_GROUP
SETSTR "NEWS"
MSG_SET_AREA
MSG_READ
else
# All other users, go to Local message Base, check for new messages In News, # and show New Messages and if no New Messages exist, do nothing, and exit.
SETSTR "LOCAL"
MSG_SET_GROUP
SETSTR "NEWS"
MSG_SET_AREA
MSG_NEW_SCAN_SUB
end_if
I can't understand it, I've worked with Baja before, and I thought I undersood it. I'm figuring with a new user, the last on would be 0(zero), and the Guest would be a restriction of "G", hence "compare_ars LASTON EQUALS 0 OR REST G", so as a regular user with no restrictions, and laston field populated with a date, it should be false, and go to else, the second half, but it's acting like it never sees the second half with regular users, but treats them like a new user or guest. I also tried "compare_ars LASTON=0 OR REST G" and got the same results. My logic must be flawed. It may be the LASTON causing the issue, but I don't know another way of determining a new user with ars or any other method.
