I doubt if the path delimiter matters that much; this sounds like the control panel is formatting what it finds appropriately for your OS.

Your message indicated that the path included c:\sbbs\daa\ so I assumed you wanted to correct that to c:\sbbs\data\. Maybe that was just a typo in your message, in which case I have no idea what the actual problem is.

Yes that was a typo. Sorry.. I do appreciate you trying to help... I am restoring a backup from 2 days ago and will create a second account in case this happens again so I an go in and reactivate the account. It's just strange.. Hopefully, Digital Man will have an idea and a possible fix for me
if it happens again... :) Thanks again...

When you say "the path is wacked" is it because of the "daa" part or the mixed back and forward slashes? The slashes don't matter - that's not an issue.

Does the data/user/user.dat file exist on your hard disk?

If sbbs can't open the file, that doesn't mean your account was deleted. It just means it can't open the file. What is the size of your user.dat file? Can you "type" it or view it with notepad or another text editor/viewer?

I didn't use the correct terminology, my account has been de-activated, I created a second account by logging on new, and can view the user list and
get into the user list via the control panel. I just can't save any changes
to the user.dat file. It gives the error that it can't open the user.dat file. The size is approx. 4k I can view what is inside the file in notepad ++ but it is mainly binary looking characters with text thrown in. I don't think there is anything wrong with the user.dat file, the issue lies in Control panel not being able to save to it..

Ok... I am back on-line, I restored backups from the other day. I also setup a 2nd account.. I just tried to edit a user via the Control Panel and it gives me that error message. BUT if I try inside the BBS with ;UEDIT it works fine... Hopefully, that can help a bit.. For now I am good to go at least until maint runs tonight and possibly in-activates me..

I just tried the start menu option, that also gives the error that it can't open user.dat even though the info is filled in. It gives the error when you are exiting or saving the changes. I find the uedit.exe I will have to dig a bit deeper for that.. I will give that a shot..

No, it's not really a problem. It's caused by some games that are set up by default; problem would go away if you updated them.

You can remove entries from ctrl/json-service.ini to make those go away, or just update your xtrn/ directory with what's on CVS.

I updated them when I installed the files from the scbbs_run.zip file and it still does it.. Is there another step involved?? I just replaced everything...

The message is generated by a service script that's running in the background. You'd need to restart your services threaad (or your BBS) for the update to tak effect.

If the message is still showing up after that, then I don't know where it's coming from exactly. You can safely ignore it, or comment out entries in json-service.ini and restart until it goes away.

I'm not gonna worry bout it since it's not a problem.. Eventually I will take a look and figure out what is causing it, but for now if it is nothing to worry about then I'm not worrying..., :)
