Usenapp issue

[TimS]

I went from Usenapp 1.2.2 to 1.2.4.1, and lost the colouring for titles of my
outbound posts, even though I'd made no changes in the Prefs and the setting
for such colouration is still there. Going back to 1.2.2 has restored that
colouring.

Now, I reported this on the Forum as a bug and as Andre is unable to make it
fail, he suggests trying:

defaults delete com.xoroxsoft.usenapp

Before trying that, however, I'd like to know whether doing that would remove
my subscriptions, filter rules, or signatures. Anyone know?

Just tried what Andre suggested. The only outcome was a reminder that my
MegaSearch sub had expired. I've never subbed or used MegaSearch so I
dismissed the window and carried on regardless. Everything else seems OK -
subs, filters, sig.

Posted via Usenapp 1.24.1 (Build 363) - the latest.

Actually it looks like I lost my advanced header settings but they are easily
put back.

No it doesn’t. It just resets the GUI and some default settings.

How long has the new version been out? Mine is up-to-date already, either
automatically or so long ago I've forgotten.

Beware: Upgrading from 1.23 to 1.24
forces an upgrade of the system software from 10.12 (Sierra)
to 10.13 (High Sierra) or higher.
There is no possibility on the site to download the older version,
if you would want to remain on Sierra,

So Sierra users are locked forever in this old version?
Maybe you should mention that on your front page,
with the download link for older versions.
(like many other apps do)

Some venerable old ones have quite a list,

Jan

PS Was it really necessary to dump Sierra,
or is it just a matter of testing?
Just curious:
What does High Sierra do for us that Sierra doesn't?

Unfortunately, that's a choice made by Apple.
The current XCode versions only compile for MacOS 10.13 and above.

no, it's a decision made by the developer.

there are ways to still support 10.12 (or even earlier). whether it's
worth the effort depends on how many users still use earlier systems.
at this point, it won't be that many, almost certainly not enough to
justify the effort.

Oh well, just when I had decided that I really should give it a try
you slam the door in my face.
No point in buying into a dead end, I guess,

Thanks. I'll put up 1.24.1 and try. I can always go back to 1.22. (Apols for
rubbish version number in my OP :-)

OK. What happened was this. I updated to 1.24.1 and did the defaults delete.
On restarting, I could see that I had highlighting of my messages in blue as
shown in your image on the Forum. Next I tried to restore my own colour for
highlighting by going into the Prefs, but the highlighting then reverted to
black and I have not since been able to shift it to any other colour.
