I have noticed something strange going on the past weeks, that has changed. It seems if I have a program set for access requirements set to ANSI, the program is not showing up even if the user is set to ansi in the defaults. If I take the ANSI out of the access requirements, it shows up fine. I will use me as an example. In my Default Settings it reads:

Terminal Mode: Auto CP437 / ANSI (color) (mouse)

And I don't see any doors or programs that have an Access Requirement of ANSI.

I even changed my Terminal Mode to:

Terminal Mode: Auto CP437 /ANSI (color)

with the same results. If I take out the Access Requiremnet of ANSI, all is fine and I can see the program. For now I have removed ANSI from the access requirements, so my users can play them, but I'm concerned what could be causing this. What module countrols this, so I can see if I don't have the latest one, or what could I have done since the latest update to cause this. Besides the ANSI string, it's not following others requirements I have set in other areas like PROT NOT HTTP, so thats why I asked if I missed a module update.

This sounds like a problem that was introduced recently (after v3.19b was release) and fixed on Feb-6:

It's Synchronet itself (e.g. sbbs.dll for Windows).

I checked, and I have the one from 2/1/22 in there, and thats the last update I did. This is crazy man, all these issues. I'm litterly at the point of doing a fresh install, but I'm putting that off as a last resort. I downloaded last nights sbbs_run.zip, and sbbs_dev.zip, but I kept getting a Xaccesserror when starting the control panel, so I went back to the 2/1/22 that build that I saved. I'll wait till tomorrow and get a later build incase last nights is corrupt.

This is unrelated to any other issues you've had or reported.

Yeah, don't do that.

It's fixed now, Downloaded the latest build 2/21/22 this morning. Sorry, I didn't see this part yesterday cos I was frustrated and got ahead of myself.

Thanks, like I said above, everything is fixed and running smooth. You are a good man Rob, you put up with a lot, and always seem to come through. Thanks to you and the Synchronet Team for providing first rate software.
