Steve,
I am not a power user but I see you are still using 1.6, upgrade to
1.7. 1.6 had a bunch of bugs in it that were apparently taken care of
in 1.7(and some were database bugs :^(. I, at least have not noticed
any problems with 1.7 and Lugnet, but I took the plunge with 1.7 soon
after it was released figuring I'd only lose the canceled messages if
I had to restart. Also depending upon your storage options you could
make a archive copy of your Lugnet Agent installation to keep the old
posts then restart a fresh copy and start from there, if you use a
cd-r for such , just remember you will not be able to run agent from
the cd-r, it needs write access to actually run. The work around is
copy back to a write drive then run it.
HTH, Mike
