DM, I grabbed the latest upgrade and installed it. Seemed to work until I actually tried to login remotely. At which point the Synchronet Control Panel just exists, no errors, just exists. This is on Windows 10 32 bit. I copied my previous version back into my sbbs folder and placed the previous version's .dll back into my Windows/System32 folder and all works again.

I'll test some more and see if I can find any logs that might give me a clue as to what is happening. Thought I would pass this on.

Just installed the 3.21c upgrade. I was running 3.21a just fine. After installation, the Control Panel just exits after a few seconds and I get the following error in the Windows 10 Event viewer:

The problem has not been root-caused, but it apparently does go away after upgrading to the latest the Microsoft C++ runtime library:

i said this before. there is a pack out there that is very popular that has all the runtimes in one installer. it's especially popular with gamers.
It installs runtimes that don't play well with synchronet. i had to help 2 people fix it.

There is a tiny issue with the User Editor on the Control Panel now. "Error reading user file". ../data/user/user.tab

I can still telnet in and run ;uedit and it works fine.

The User List in the Control Panel works.

What are all those guys sitting in #synchronet doing?!
Nelgin! I thought you were so smart!
#synchronet fanboys should be alpha testing.

So many errors in this official release.
Meanwhile rob swindell is riding around on his e-bike shooting youtube vids. sad!
