In the final A47 release if you opt to run global editor and look at 'base type' you'll see the use of Echomail is still present when it should read 'Networked'
Fixed in the next build! Thank you!

No prob, and hello and welcome back.
Just wondering if you envisage a new release on the website soon? I've been holding off updating videos etc. as I wondered if something may be coming out towards year end again? No stress if not, but if you could
I still want to get A48 out sooner than later, so I just need to get feedback from those in the community using it to see how its holding up compared to A47.
If you have been using A48 or have heard any rumblings I would love to hear your thoughts on things.
- New Users are not getting their assigned startup menus
- User Chat Backspacing isn't working
well. The semaphore issue also was happening quite a bit when I had my call out time scheduled for the top of the hour at the same time most of my hubs were calling into me. At first I took to just running an event

Its been pretty smooth, after your last round of bug fixes before the break - theres been no HUGE issues that I've experienced.
I did see some stuff about chat and I did fix up some chat bugs (specifically related to the user to user split screen chat). I just hadn't had a chance to release the newer build.
For the assigned startup menu if you can test it with the latest A48 and let me know I would appreciate it. I may have already fixed it and forgot. Or if you can explain how I can reproduce it I'll see if I can get it to happen here and get it sorted out right away.
So this still is broken. Basically, sign in as a new user and once the user is validated to the new security level with a different menu assigned, the menu never gets assigned. So once the user tries to login again he will get a 'Error loading .mnu'
When checking the user, the Start Menu is empty.
1) Check logs to see what it says when it can't load the menu.
2) Check system config > start menu and confirm the value is what you
want 3) Check the user's start menu and make sure its actually blank and
not a null 4) Check the user's security level to make sure there is a

Can you upgrade to the latest build in prealpha when you have time and check the logs again. I changed it to show where its taking the menu value from which should help me get to the bottom of the issue.

You can also just go into the user and do a CTRL+U select the security level and it never changes the start menu for the user.
As far as it not updating the user field when you upgrade the user security level, thats expected behavior. Older versions would copy the start menu from the security into the user record, but now it just pulls the menu name directly from the security record.
The reason for the change is because if you wanted to change the start menu for a security level in the past you'd have to then go into each user's record and update their start menu field. Now you can blank out all of the user's start menu fields and let it pull the menu from the system default or their security profile. You'd only set the start menu directly on the user's record if you really wanted them to have their
own custom start menu.
Hope I was able to explain that in a way that made sense lol.
I was able to find the issue with that logging, thank you! I am
uploading a new build now which will include the fix.

I think I'll put up something in the FAQ about this as it seems to be something that folks may need some further education / awareness on.
Makes perfect sense. There was something else related to this kind of change to. A mass way of updating users security levels? Any way of
doing that. I'm getting of topic, but curious.
It couldn't hurt. It should be somewhere in there thats for sure. FAQ might make sense and then when it comes time to document the start menu fields in System Config, Security editor, user editor, etc it can link back to that FAQ?
I did discuss it in the whatsnew also.
Alright don't mean to add more to your list.
I have some other questions, unrelated to this.
I will create a new message.

There isn't a global user editor for some reason. I don't really
remember why I never made one considering things like Echomail nodes, msg/file bases all have them.
I don't want to work on it before A48 at this point since I'd like to
get this thing released sooner than later, but I think it could be something that I focus on early in A49
