ok, assuming noone has already posted this ...
i fixed this and i don't even have the dynamic boards patch.
i don't know how much is changed in the dynamic boards patch,
but what i did was put this check

  if (!is_number(number) || (!(msg = atoi(number))))
    return 0;

after the isname(board bulletin) check in
Board_display_msg() function.
msg should be an 'int' in the function (already defined) b/c it has
a check later something like if (msg < 1 || msg > something)
so it should already be there, and 'number'
is a char of MAX_STRING_LENGTH made from this call
one_argument(arg, number); (this is just to make sure you have those two vars
defined in the function.


works like a charm now (being an IMP you get lots of mail about bugs,
so i got sick of that little one there.)
