    From Plt@VERT/MEGABBS to All on Wed Mar 18 11:19:52 2026
    I am using the current version of Synchronet running under Microsoft Windows 11 and if I deleted a user then run truncate users in the counsel the following error is happening Truncate delete users is causing the error
    <plt2> error --> <plt2> 3/18 10:09:49a User index (C:\users\plt\sbbs\data\user/name.dat) length (189) does not match expected length (162), corruption suspected. If I add another user or someone login and creates a new account the error dispears.

    Okay. Recommend you don't do it in the counsel.

    I created an issue in gitlab (where we track feature requests and bug reports and you already have an account, since May 21, 2021):
