My synchronet bbs list is not synchronizing any more. I upgraded but I
don't have it installed on a unix/linux server. I am running it on xp. Is there something I need to run or do to fix this issue. I have tried looking around but all I was able to find was a post about it on fidonet.
Can you be more specific? Do you mean that you're not seeing BBSing being *imported* from the DOVE-Net or FidoNet, or you're not seeing your BBS being exported to other BBSes, or both?
Do you have the SYNCDATA echo on your BBS? Have you checked that it contains messages? Have you checked that it contains messages being posted via SBL2SMB (timed event) which have your BBS details in them?

It's both! My brother went to your bbs to ad our bbs to the bbs list.
Little did I know he had a type-o in the telnet address so I had to make a new entry. It was the only way to fix my bbs not showing up on the list.

I have looked at the sbl2smb event but did not think to check syncdata.
It's also causing problems with the interbbs message module not importing the bbs list! (well because there isn't one, the bbs listing door isn't importing them) At least that's what I assume the case is, I maybe wrong though.
I appreciate you considering to take the time to help me with this. I am going to check both syncdata and sbl2smb, thanks.
I am looking for sbl2smb event, not really seeing anything about my bbs anywere
I also found a file in sbbs/data call smb25mm and iside the text
document it states the following: c:\sbbs\data\subs\syndata is empty. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place lol.
No, they're unrelated. You should have a timed event called "GETIMLIST" or
something like that which ftp's the sbbsimsg.lst file from Vertrauen daily.
Do you have the SB2SMB and SMB2SBL events configured in SCFG->External Programs->Timed Events? They're in there in a stock install, so unless you
removed them, they should still be there.

Yes, they are all in there. I haven't really changed anything in that area at all.
Did you check the SYNCDATA sub-board?

Honestly I don't know what that is. I looked through scfg and didn't see anything relating to that. I did however, see a sub directory \sbbs\data\subs and it seemed in tact. So to answer your question honestly, I probably didn't. I have no idea what that is.
It's a networked sub-board with an internal code of "SYNCDATA". SYNCDATA is carried on both DOVE-Net (http://wiki.synchro.net/network:dove-net)
and FidoNet. Have you read xtrn/sbl/sbl.doc?
FidoNet. Have you read xtrn/sbl/sbl.doc?

Other terms for "sub-board" may be better understood as well. Message area, base, or echo (since it's networked), comes to mind. It took some time getting used to that for me as well, as none of the BBS softwares I used prior to Synchronet used "sub-board" to describe a message base. *shrug*

I have went through as many documents as I have time for. I remember thumbing through them. I think I need to go back tonight (after my math class lets out) and go through that document really thorough. The documentation is pretty lengthy, so sometimes I find myself just breezing through some of it. Probably a bad idea.

I didn't invent the term, it was used by WWIV and its derivations (Renegade, Telegard) before. And I seem to recall others using it as
well (Forum hacks?).
iniquity, impulse, vision-x and v/2, etc, but I remember them using
"message base" more than I can ever remember "sub-board" being used.
Either way, I was only trying to help explain it to the other guy by using terms he may have been more familiar with, is all. Doesn't seem like it worked anyways. :)
