    Is there a way to scan for new messages let's say last 60 days?

    I logged into Vertrauen and modified new message pointers for the last 60 days. I was also missing Tech Talk message board not sure why. I added it manually to message base. I got a QWK bad file because of missing Tech Talk board. How do I import this bad file to message base?

    You can rename eg. "data/VERT.qwk.deadbeef.bad" to "data/VERT.qwk", and the system should notice the .qwk file and try to import it. The .qwk file should disappear after it's been imported.

    Here's my "unbad.js" script that I call via jsexec every so often when .bad files pile up in my data dir and I'm too lazy to investigate why:

    directory(system.data_dir + "VERT.qwk.*.bad").forEach(function (packet) {
    while(file_exists(system.data_dir + "VERT.qwk")) {
    writeln("Waiting 3 seconds ...");
    mswait(3000);
    }
    writeln("Copying " + packet + " to VERT.qwk");
    file_rename(packet, system.data_dir + "VERT.qwk");
    });

    I think the only way might be to set your new-scan pointers back to 60 days ago and then do a newscan. I'm not sure if there's another way.

    It seems this game is an issue or I have it wrong somehow. I don't get any questions and hitting play game crashes it. Is this game dead maybe? Thanks

    Yes, that's a standard feature of Synchronet. http://synchro.net/docs/user.html#NewMessageScanDate/TimePointers

    Rename the file to *.qwk
