    Sorry to keep posting about this but the chaos
    continues, this time I witnessed it happen. On MIS
    screen I watched it poll my fido hub then it
    returned RES:255, so I went into event manager and
    sure enough it wiped out my entry for scinet and
    replaced it with duplicate fido event? Looking in

    this is smelling like possibly an off-by-one bug or similar... when the event records gets adjusted to show it has run, the rewrite writes to the wrong record... that's just an eWAG, though...

    curious that no one else is reporting it here in fidonet but that could be because they're all reporting it on another FTN... if they're even noticing it at all...

    Greetings,

    Sorry to keep posting about this but the chaos continues, this time I
    witnessed it happen. On MIS screen I watched it poll my fido hub then it returned RES:255, so I went into event manager and sure enough it wiped out
    my entry for scinet and replaced it with duplicate fido event? Looking in
    the MIS logs you can see that It only polls three networks instead of 4?

    curious that no one else is reporting it here in fidonet but that could
    be becau se they're all reporting it on another FTN... if they're even noticing it at all ...

    I encountered something similar to this--specifically with the Event Editor--but I eventually chalked it up to my own user error (not saying thats the case here!) -- but in my case, I was making changes to shell events, but
    i actually *think* I was hitting ESC to exit instead of hitting RETURN
    first (ugh) to save, so it appeared that my edit was "undone" when I went
    back into -cfg... At least that's what I think happened :)

    I'm not noticing this type of error at my location and I'm running Mystic a46 for Linux/x64.

    I thought the very same thing at first, then I started taking pictures of it each time I corrected it so cant be that... It is starting to drive me a
    little nuts... I see in the prealpha directory there is an MIS2 should I
    maybe give that a go?
