Yes, I have a clue.

Again, log in to the ssh menu using PuTTY, go to System (not System 2) aand then Display. Use the down-arrow to highlight Element14_7, press the space bar to select, and then press enter. Reboot and the buttons might do what you expect.

That problem was caused by another bug that this has just highlighted, not the original bug.......

Thanks

Thanks to G4LDR, G3IUZ and VK3BVR for their help in diagnosing the problems that were introduced with the new contest features.

It appears that some of the changes were very sensitive to errors in the configuration files (that did not seem to matter before).

I have just released another update (202107060) that makes these errors less likely, and also identifies them. More details in this Wiki page: https://wiki.batc.org.uk/Config_File_Error_Messages.

Dave, G8GKQ
