  • Multi-Instance Issue

    From Patch #1@142.Wwivnet@11:1/101 to All on Wed Mar 12 19:15:10 2025

    While making some changes to the BBS and testing it both as Sysop and as a regular user, I noticed that my BBS disconnected the second user as soon as it asked if they wanted to do a new messages search after logging in.

    I've restarted the BBS to see if there was an issue that rebooting would fix, and I have multi-user option in WWIVConfig setup as well. Any idea why this would kick a second user offline when someone is online one of the available nodes?

    -P

    Stupid me ... same IP address that's why. Opened BBS locally and one with a regular connection and it works just fine.
