I'm trying to figure out why there is a bug that does not allow me to upload
two files that have the same first 8 characters. This bug doesn't exist on
Vert, but it does exist on my bbs. I didn't change the file name after
uploading it.

I think I may have been able to isolate the issue just a little bit more. Im
running the latest dev version 3/1/19 - and I have the bug. Vert does not have
the bug and is running a feb/19 version. I tried over at a different bbs,
outwestbbs which is running SBBS 3.17b Jan/19 and has the same bug I do, I am
able to reproduce the bug on the outwebbbs (3.17b) but not on vert (3.17c
Feb/19). I dont know why this has been so elusive, maybe because your not
seeing the bug on your bbs at Vert. Maybe you have an update that Myself or
OutwestBBS does not.

Hope you can help some more.

Thanks,
Electrosys
