New Problems with THOR
Swampthing
but unfortunately this lead to a multitude of other errors in the file:data,
bbsread.library, etc. so I just went ahead and scrapped the system and created
a new one. A couple of new problems have arisen, however:
- Conferences will not sort properly. When I change them around in the
Conference configuration, the results are the same in the Conf Window, even
though I save my changes. I've tried quitting THOR and coming back, closing
all windows and reopening, as well as adding new messages to see if I could
get them to sort properly, but nothing was successful. They are sorted in the
Conf Config, but still remain unsorted in the main Conf Window.
- My Email conference is having problems with running SortMail. For some
reason Sortmail does not recognize it as being my email conference and thus I
cannot run it manually.
- I'm missing the little "NEWSGROUPS" and "MAIL" headings in my Conf Window.
The only heading is "USER CREATED." All new conferences did not go into
newsgroups, they just are hanging at the bottom. Can I get those headers
back?

The conferences window ordering is independent of the Conf Config ordering
as of 2.6. Unfortunately, the only way to reorder the conference list is
to edit data/bbs0/folderlayout.cfg (replace "bbs0" with the relevant
system) using a text editor. This is relatively easy, that shouldn't be
a problem - just note that "folders" are preceded by a + and the actual
conferences are preceded by a - symbol.

Use the popup "Create Folder" item - press the gadget in the top-right hand
corner of the conferences window. Alternatively, you can use a text
editor on the .cfg file to create new folders/headings.

Or just delete that file, and the conference order will be correct.
