I am setting up Mystic on a Linux system. I gotten most things I want working at least somewhat working. The only thing that is a bit odd is the system bulletins. Seems that no matter what I do it never knows that that a bulletin is NEW. Which means that when you try to do a check new bulletins during prelogin, it never pops up. Anyone else with a Linux system seen this?
Or is this just an oddity for me. I may just try to roll my own but I
wanted to check first. Thanks.

weird, if you just do like

touch bullet1.ans

to update the date/time and then login it doesn't pop up?

the default script is at themes/default/scripts/bulletin.mps maybe it doesn't function correctly anymore?

I didn't read the whole thread but there's discussion of this issue dating back to 2022.
