Hopefully, this is the last issue I have, as everything else is working. I've been working on my Interbbs Chat, as My system never shows up in the SBBSIMSG.LST. Everything seems to work, except other systems can't see my system in the chat module, but I can see theres on my system. I have checked wiki, and all seems to be set up properly. When I check the setup, I only get 2 issues, which deal with interbbs chat. I'm running windows 10 32bit. All the other info is below. What am I missing?

2 issues discovered

The first one being
'Valhalla Home Services' BBS entry on vert.synchro.net is different than local

The only difference I see, is Vert lists me (on The BBS) as Living in Richmond, Virginia, and my system shows (on my bbs) the area a Henrico County, Virginia which is correct, and the discription is off slightly. I have noticed the sbbs list from vert is different both on the web and on verts bbs, but the one on my webv4 webpage show up correctly as also the one on my system.

the other issue is
Valhalla Home Services is not listed in c:\SBBS\ctrl\sbbsimsg.lst

And that's the reason of this email. It is being updated every morning at 4:00am per the event. All the needed ports are open and working according to
the port checking utility on Synchronets wiki page as shown below.

systat 11 Success

My modopts.ini seems right

live_preview = true
backup_level = 5

My Services.ini Seems right

What Am I Missing. Sorry for being so long winded, I just wanted to cover all the basis. Thanks in advance as always.

This likely means your SBL2SMB timed event isn't working right. If you can read the SYNCDATA echo and look for your latest posted BBS entry and compare to your own system data, that might give you a clue.

If you just recently made the changes you mentioned (e.g. location), it can take a week or so to update based on settings.
For whatever reason, the nightly sbbslist verifier isn't getting a systate response from your system ("systat" is not listed under "udp"):

"last_success": {
"on": "2022-02-02T08:07:22.488Z",

I just forced the imag_capable flag to true for your listing. That should take care of that.

I saw a listing in there for 1/27/22, where it had my old data, but nothing sinse, but in my synchronet bbs list on my system, I see a entry near the bottom in Purple stating: Updated by sbbslist.js 1.68 on Feb 01 2022

The SBL2SMB timed event is enabled, as I checked all those events yesterday. I tried to fix this without asking for help, but was unsuccessful. I wonder what could be going on in the event to cause the problem. According to the log, it ran at midnight

I madethe changes from Richmond to Henrico County Monday, so I'll give it more
time

I just checked my forwarded ports again on the router, and for some reason, it
had changed back to TCP only on port 11 Systat, so I changed it back to
TCP/UDP, but why would the Wiki Synchronetport scanner show it as open. No
biggie, I'll keep checking it for a few days, and let you know.

Yeah, I think default update interval is once a week, so you probably just needed to give it a little more time.

Just wanted to let you know, all is fine now, SBBSIMSG.LST is fixed, Update to the SBBSLIST is now working, and I've had ZERO errors the past two days. Thanks for the assist on all the help getting my issues ironed out. Again, Thanks.
