• Significant Bug

    Hi guys

    Please be aware that a significant bug has surfaced as of 1 Jan 2020 with Mystic 1.12 A43

    Information about this issue has been posted to the Wiki - wiki.mysticbbs.com

    The bug covers two MUTIL functions PurgeUserBase and PurgeMessageBases and relates to the way Mystic incorrectly calculates dates when looking to purge inactive users or messages by age.

    The bug sees Mystic assuming any year that is less than 20 (e.g. 2019) as
    being part of the 21st century (e.g. 2019) while years that are 20 or greater are seen to be part of the 20th century (e.g. 1920).

    This means that if either function is called, data is being incorrectly
    purged from the BBS.

    More info on the Wiki.

    Best, Paul
