Is there a fix for the blank messages?

Thanks. I did a search for 'messages' and that post didn't come up.

Warning: Do NOT do this after making changes...just lost all my changes I just made!

Is lost messages the same as lost NEWS? I lost the news on my team's home page. It doesn't show up anymore. Is this the same problem?

I believe it is the same problem.

I don't understand the fix. Take the weekly file and unzip it to the Brewers folder.... don't I do that every time?

[robster1225]

Are you still seeing this? Because this bug should be fixed. Are you downloading in game? Are you referring to "old" news, or news from the most recent sim?

To answer your question:

There's a bug where the in game extractor stops extracting when it sees a 0byte file, which there can be at times in some folders within the game. So, going to export and doing it yourself with your own extractor will solve that problem. Now, if your missing messages, you don't have to do the whole archive. You can extract the league file, and just copy the news folder in to your brewers.lg folder.

But, as I said, the problem with the ingame extractor should have been fixed, so I need to know the exact circumstances of your problem.

I've tried both ways now and it's not working. It's weird. Like on the Virgina homepage. First story is there.... the rest of them have the date, but no story.

It's very possible that you just don't have all the news stories in your file. Since you are seeing a recent story. If you missed a sim or something like that you could possibly be missing a news story.

I'd ask Andrew for a complete file and see if that fixes it.

Count me among those with the same issue Clay is having. On my team homepage, I see player pics, dates, but no story. I tried the trick with manually extracting the news folder, but still no luck.

[robster1225]

as I asked Clay, what are the dates for those news stories?
