  • UNKNOWN QWK CONFERENCE NUMBER

    From Digital Man@VERT to All on Friday, April 10, 2020 11:18:06
    If you feed DOVE-Net from Vertrauen via QWK (and most DOVE-Net nodes do) and you see the following error when importing vert.qwk packets:

    !Message from VERT on UNKNOWN QWK CONFERENCE NUMBER: 50xx

    You can either ignore the message (it's nothing to be alarmed about) or logon to vert.synchro.net with your QWKnet account via Telnet/RLogin/SSH and turn off the "SciNet" sub-boards in your QWK configuration. That is all. Thanks,

    I logged in with my QWK account to check and disable those, and I found some sub-boards were On and some were Off for me. Same with some of the FidoNet sub-boards.. I turned everything off except for Dove-Net.

    On my BBS, I usually use "REST NOT Q" in my ARS for message groups/sub-boards that I don't think QWK accounts need access to.

    Yeah, I just did the same. You don't need to do that for any subs that aren't QWK-networked (they're automatically excluded from QWK packets for QWKnet nodes), but just to avoid confusion...
