  • Binkterm bug

    From Stephen Walsh@3:633/280 to Matthew Asham on Wednesday, January 28, 2026 09:59:36

    Hello Matthew!

    Your recent updates have created a bug in how Binkterm handles echo's.
    Note the line. [ ECHO_ADS] with a space in front of the area tag.
    This isn't the only message that has this issue.

    谀口目诼棵目谀口目谀 The Echomail with ID [2:333/802 AEED007C] to [All] was

    晾馁 晾馁 滥 like your system sent it on [2026-01-27 17:16:45].

    It appears that the echoarea [ ECHO_ADS] that this message is for doesnt
    exist, so the message from your system was rejected.

    This is your original message:

    SUBJECT: New Point Systems

    Hi everyone! I'm testing a revolutionary point system in collaboration with awehttam called "binkterm-php." This allows you to be a node/point on
    multiple networks (fidonet, fsxnet, etc.). This is a real innovation because the project is based entirely on Boostrap and HTML5! Access is possible from
    a PC, smartphone, or tablet (using your browser to view standard websites).

    If you'd like to try it, I've made registration available at

    https://webpoint.velenobbs.net.

    Thanks for finding that. I did indeed add a space after AREA: in the kludge.

    How's this one?

    Hello Matthew!

    Just to make sure we are on the same page, the report was:

    Faulty:
    "AREA: FIDOTEST"

    Correct:
    "AREA:FIDOTEST"


    How's this one?

    From what I can see it looks ok. Will wait and see if I get a report back...

    Cool.

    Yeah I added it last week when I was doing the massive multinetworking update. A classic case of "If it ain't broke"..
