right now, my fidonet hub is semi-down
so I have been posting via dove-net most of the time, and poll regularly
for some reason I never seem to get a new message alert via dove-net, only via fidonet ?? shouldn't qwk/vert be where its seen first?

"new message alerts" ("so and so posted a message to on on some sub-board") is a feature of SBBSecho (for fido-style networks).
Synchronet itself does not have this feature for QWK networks. You'll still receive the messages, you just don't get notified about each new message addressed to your name during logon. Are we talking about the
same thing?
Sounds like the one. Yes, I noticed that too, found it a little "odd", but just accepted it as how Synchronet works and moved on. :) The fact that the FTN notifications are clearly labelled as being from SBBSEcho helped the penny to drop. :)

You can still do a scan for only your msgs automatically in your
command shell.

yes, that would be correct - shouldn't synchronet be able to notify you of qwk network messages - otherwise, the only way *anyone* is going to see a reply to their message is if they read that area everytime.. not good if you were to have serveral qwk networks!

i would find it annoying to see popup msgs from every network and dont want it.
yup... i don't know of a way to turn it off on a per user basis... i'm sure it could be done and those entries flushed when the user logs off... do it when they logoff in case they decide to change the option and want to see them during that logon... unless they've read them already...

It could, but never has. Whether it "should" or not is a subjective question.

I've logged into Vertrauen and have noticed that SBBSEcho notifies me of new messages to me posted on Dove-Net. I thought SBBSEcho only worked with FTN networks and didn't work with QWK networks.. Unless you have Dove-Net set up via FTN for some BBSes?
