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?

Yes I tried Touch and also went to see if the date was different for the
user was something else. But as far as I can tell everything seems to be correct. My guess without trying to write some sort of debug code is that
the date it's getting is something wierd. I may try to write a debug, but
to be honest, it might just be easier to roll something myself in a lang
I am more familar with as a CLI thing. Not sure yet. It's not super
important but it would be nice for it work. And besides isn't the fun
trying to get stuff to work.

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

That was helpful. There was a reply that said to change UserLastOn to DateU2D(UserLastOn). I did that and it actually working now. Thanks.

The crazy thing is that function is not listed in the Mystic Wiki Docs
it showed up in one of the What's New Announcements. Considering it's
been around a few years, I sort of surprised the Wiki reference did
not get updated. Then again, I am sort of not. Still I glad it the
function was there. Saved me some time and effort. Although I may
end up trying to roll my own at some point in the future.

I have a bunch of old/new mystic mods and various MPL tutorials/docs in my file areas if you wanna look through. I've been searching all over for any mods, even ones written in older MPL, and mystic documentation, I think I might even have more I haven't put online yet. I love diggin' through old BBS archives.
