Hi! I'm trying to make sense out of what Whap! 1.9b does when going into a new Forum. It seems to send the command HI;L almost randomly — first when logging into the Forum for the very first time, then when leaving it. (For those that don't know, the command resets the "high message read" counter to the highest message number, and makes CIS respond as if you had read every message in that Forum to date!) This also was done with the reinitialization of Arts and Tech — Whap! reset the counter to the last message in those Fora as well, both upon entering and right before exiting. I'm sure there's some kinda reason behind it — but for the life of me I can't figure out the logic behind it. It's only natural to want to see what messages are already IN a Forum when you join one! Or do I somehow have something set wrong? =Tom=
