Hello %destname,

In winpoint 404 found a bug. Polling the second node calls the first one in line not the second one.

Hello %destname,

In winpoint 404 found a bug. Polling the second node calls the first one in line not the second one.

Just guessing: You have used invalid fidonet addresses on the BBSes and those two nodes actually have the same addres...

WP actually internally polls by Mailbox Node number when you select a Mailbox from the menu ... so if two mailboxes come down to the same node number the mechanics cause it to use the configuration from the first matching mailbox. Yes, that is unexpected and I am not a fan of it, but its usually a non-issue.

Regards,
Tim

Programm technical it's possible to make an array. I used the same fido adress but another URL. It's must be possible

This is just a design flaw. For sure this can be repaired, but like anything it takes time and I have other priorities. Usually this comes only up, when people produce invalid configurationts during testing. I keep running into it myself during tests, but not in relevant scenarios.

Understandable. Don't know how Delphi (was it Delphi) handles array in variable lenghts.

Think I fixed it through some refactoring. Please test in next release.
