Strange behavior of version 6.90 build 5524 (txt msg)

Postby MrMonoxide » Sat Jan 28, 2023 4:18 am

I just posted a txt message to a Newsgroup, something I haven't done for quite some time, and got some strange and unexpected results when I downloaded new headers to see if my massage had been sent:

In the "Group" column of Newsbin Pro, the same Newsgroup name appears 3 times, separated by commas, for no apparent reason.
In the "Poster" column, it shows my name as "Series Links not allowed for unregistered users", which I've never heard of, and is completely different to what I had entered in the Poster Name section of the message create\send dialogue box.

I never had this happen with previous text message posts in the past.

As a result of this strange behavior, I had a look in the About Newsbin Pro menu, and was horrified to see that my first name is showing as "Mr Unregistered", with the last name "User".

I did register the product after installing it. What does it all mean?

1 - You have to restart Newsbin after you register for it to take. If it still doesn't take, I'd re-enter the key, re-register and restart again.

2 - Not sure about the posting. I'll have to try it here.

3 - "Series Fan@nails.com" - I wonder if someone replied to you with an identical subject?

I'll try it and get back to you.

I just looked at my About and see that I am Mr Unregistered also. I have never noticed a problem. Should I try and re register?

Sure. Just restart when you finish.
