As I mentioned before, my backtalk/bbs viewing history got zapped during the
OS upgrade. Trying to re-catch-up on old posts has uncovered a new problem:
viewing history is not being updated (or not updated correctly) for
conferences other than Agora. 

After reading new items and responses on Agora, I can use the NEXT command
to cycle through conferences in my list, but if I read the new items in a
conference (which, since viewing history was lost, is all items posted since
the beginning) then quit and restart bbs and again cycle through my conference
list with NEXT, the same conferences come up again showing new items, but
their the same items as I previously read.

Does that make any sense?
