I noticed someting crazy today, when I was watching a friend log in. His security level is 60, and it's giving him over 500 minutes per call. This prompted me to check other security levels, and they appear to me giving the correct time. What would cause this certian level to act up. As you can see, i've got it set to 300 minutes per day, with only 60 minutes per call.

Does this user have the 'T' exemption?
Does this user have any banked "minutes"?
question, why would banked minutes override time left per call, that defeats my forced time limit per call policy. I use the replaceable

With 4 nodes available out of the box via telnet I don't see much
reason to worry a whole lot about time limits. Back in the dialup days
I had 1 node, and things were different.

He does not have the "T" exemption, but he Did have Banked minutes. I deleted the banked minutes, and all went back to normal. That poses a new question, why would banked minutes override time left per call, that defeats my forced time limit per call policy. I use the replaceable perameter "TIMELEFT" on my prompts as follows "Main Menu - TIMELEFT Min Left - [2] DoveNet [16] Synchronet :", which translates to "Main Menu - 59 Min Left - [2] DoveNet [16] Sunchronet :". I feel like this simplifies the time left per user, and I really don't want to show it in hours:min:seconds as in the "TLEFT" peramerter. I was under the impression, if a user is only allowed 60 minutes per call, it would countdown from 60 in the peramerter TIMELEFT, so the user would know how much time they have left during the current session. why was it showing 534 Min Left on the prompt. His banked minutes were actually more than 600. I hope this made sense. Thanks.
PS, is there a replaceable perameter for banked Minutes?
I wish I got enough calls per day that I'd want to limit the amount of time people could spend on the board. :)
