Forums Bug Reports events not picking up

on ^1:JOIN:*: {
write joinsdebug.txt Chan: $chan Nick: $nick Addy: $address |
haltdef
}

Basically my events work similar to the above code.
Sometimes the event is picked up correctly. Othertimes it isnt. I noticed this when a few of my themes (joins, nick changes) came out as the default green. It only occured 1 in 20 times. And on the debug code above, most times it writes the details to a file, other times the event isnt ran at all.

stupid question, will it work if you used # instead of * ?? The # in that event stands for all channels making * not needed (and incorrect)

I've used the same code for about 3-4 years. Updated to every verstion and its worked. Except 6.1, I've had to downgrade to 6.03. If it was an error like that it would happen *every* time not every odd time.

try changing 'write' to 'echo' instead, perhaps it is a bug with 'write', he is using a different compiler now and may have overlooked changing his file access functions..

i was using echo.. i just changed it to write so i had a log of every join (for debugging 6.1).. and it still didnt run the event
