 +=== Start Msg Pointers ===
 +
 +This option determines how the message last-read pointers are set up when new user accounts are created.  The following options are available:
 +
 +| First Message     | Start new users at the first message of each base |
 +| Last Message      | Start new users at the last/end of messages in each base |
 +| Last (X) Messages | Start new users at the last X of message base, where the X value is defined by the number in the "Pointer Value" option.  For example setting Pointer Value to 10 would set up new users to start at 10 messages base from the last message in each base. |
 +| Last (X) Days Ago | Start new users at messages that are X days old, where the X value is defined by the number in the "Pointer Value" option.  For example setting Pointer Value to 30 would start new users at messages that were 30 days old. |
