Hi Mayuresh, Welcome! I had the same problem when I joined the list, and solved it the same way you did. Maybe it's an anti-spam measure? :)
What Maurice wrote was correct, except I would have said (a) OR (b). You could import and convert (read-write), or open directly as pgn (read-only, but not obvious that it's read-only). As always, backup your pgn file first. And be aware when you do an Import, Scid puts the games in the currently open database (or in the always-open clipbase). So usually you would first do File | New, then do Database | Import into the new one. -- Alan > On Feb 7, 2021, at 6:13 AM, Maurice McCarthy <mansel...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi and Welcome! > > Yes, it does.
