Can someone tell me how to limit the size of the 'from_name' field when importing groups ?

in some posts the size become long and that force the width size when displaying forums list.

Thank you,

Can anyone give me some pointers in dealing with my problem, described a few posts above (#128)?

I'd very much appreciate it if someone could get me moving in the right direction.

donnacha, the author of this scrpt is overseas at the moment so it might be some time before you get an educated answer. However, it looks like your site defaults to your home page as its 404 Error page. I suggest you check that all the files included within the zip file are placed exactly where they are meant to be (the file unzips into its correct directory structure).

Read the readme.txt file again. Your error messages suggest that you may not have all the files in the correct location.

You must always refer to your OWN path to your OWN forums. The example provided is just that - an example! It won't work on your setup.

how are you guys automating gateway.php to run?

script seems to be running fine if I manually go the URL with

/gateway.php?debug=1

I don't think this has to do with the DC Seo URL Rewrite plugin but I get the error:

actually its those two lines that have to be added to showthread.php per instructions.

actually its those two lines that have to be added to showthread.php per instructions that cause the error message.

Hallo,
I have two questions:
1. is it possible to set this plugin to autorefrash the newsgroup becouse now I have to load gateway script to update latest posts from newsgroup.
2. Is it possible to set small message e.g "This message was send from MyDomains.com" when people are sending a messeges to the newsgroup from my forum.

Hope you understand my poor english :)

Neobud, thank you so much for your kind advice, I now have now have Usenet forums up and running at my site, www.edinburghtalk.com.

It turned out that the problem was down to a mistake (or, rather, omission) in the readme.txt, obviously there's a fair amount of stuff that hasn't been updated.

Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to address my problem, and thanks to Lierduh for making this incredible extention available for vb3.5 - it's going to make a huge difference to users of sites like mine.

I am now concentrating on making this more usable, in particular I want to find a way to make the "remove Reply button, use Quote buttons instead" amendment more user friendly, possibly by using a different version of the Quote button in Usenet forum or, perhaps, a repeated reminder throughout such threads.

Has anyone successfully implemented posting? If so, what usenet provider do you use and at what cost?
