Hello I'm stuck with an issue with getting a rescan for my dove-net with Synchronet BBS I can see after a lot of searches there is meant to be qnet.js or syncnet.js files to be able to sync up to grab all the older messages but they don't seem to be even in my /sbbs/exec directory So any help is welcome on this all I want to do is a complete rescan of older messages in the areas.
My board is sending and receiving all dove-net mail fine and since I'm new to Synchronet BBS there is a lot I need help with that is beyond the wiki and howto website.

Now the next thing I need help with is 2 older mods I had that were custom for an Windows version of Synchronet BBS not that should be a problem I even recompiled the source to produce a new bin file for each but any time I add them into the logon.js file the board will crash on activation with the same style command from the older setup I tried other mods this way and they do work fine example digitalmans lastcallers runs perfect but these oldermods are more my bbses look so please help :).

Hello I'm stuck with an issue with getting a rescan for my dove-net with Synchronet BBS I can see after a lot of searches there is meant to be qnet.js or syncnet.js files to be able to sync up to grab all the older messages but they don't seem to be even in my /sbbs/exec directory

qnet-ftp.js should be in your sbbs/exec directory. It's what you're already most-likely using to download QWK packets and upload REP packets to Vertrauen.
There's never been a "qnet.js" or "syncnet.js" file that I'm aware of, so I don't know what "searches" you're referring to, but maybe just AI hallucinations?

So any
help is welcome on this all I want to do is a complete rescan of older messages in the areas.

The simplest way to achive this is to just logon to your QWKnet hub (most likely, Vertrauen) with your QWKnet account and adjust your message pointers on the DOVE-Net subs to point back to the year 2000 or whatever you like. You'll *also* need to configure your system to accept really old messages by setting SCFG->Message Options->Maxmimum QWK Message Age to some big age or "Unlimited".

My board is sending and receiving all dove-net mail
fine and since I'm new to Synchronet BBS there is a lot I need help with that is beyond the wiki and howto website.

The wiki has this explanation of QWK "Remote commands", which also may be used to adjust your message scan pointers by posting specially formed messages, as it says:
https://wiki.synchro.net/ref:qwk_cmds

So... it seems to be covered.

Now the next thing I need help with is 2 older mods I had that were custom for an Windows version of Synchronet BBS not that should be a problem I even recompiled the source to produce a new bin file for each but any time I add them into the logon.js file the board will crash on activation with the same style command from the older setup

Can you past here exactly what you changed in your logon.js file?

When you say the "board will crash" - can you elaborate? is there an error message?

I tried other mods this way and they do
work fine example digitalmans lastcallers runs perfect but these oldermods are more my bbses look so please help :).

I don't have a "lastcallers" mod, so must be thinking of something else.
