Golded doesn't seem to like Synchronet's voting messages. Once it hits one of those, you just see a blank message.

I had to completely wipe my Dovenet messages, disable voting messages, VOTING.DAT, and reset my message pointers so I would get sent all of the messages again (without voting messages), and all is well now.

If you want to keep message voting as a feature on your system, Golded will /not/ currently work with Dovenet. I have never used the voting system so it wasn't as big of a deal for me.

Regards,
Nick
