I have installed the hack okay, but received a lot of complaints as my users became lost in the mix between my forum postings and newsgroup postings.
Ditto!

Anybody have an idea on what I have to do so that binary attachments are displayed as pictures and not cryptic code.
Still trying to figure it out.
Thanks

The problem is with uuencoded attachemnts that are not attached using mime. That should give you some stuff to look for, but I'll address this issue in a future release when I have a chance.

Anyway to truncate author names ? Either from the newsgroups or ALL authors?

I've noticed that whenever one of my users includes a link in their newsgroup post, it's gets converted to a tinyurl.com link when viewed on the actual group. Can this function be turned off? It's hard for us to promote our site when the link isn't even ours!

Hi,

I'm having problems with my gateway.php script not importing all the posts from the Newsgroup.

Really I only need those in the past 3 months or so, not the entire newsgroup which contains hundreds of thousands it seems(the alt.military newsgroup for example).

I'm getting the message that my script has exceeded it's maximum execution time - so, how do I import all the required newsgroup postings, or limit them to the past x posts in a particular newsgroup?

Thanks for the continued support on this dude,

Cheers for now,

Ross

TinyURl turns your long links into shorter ones that fit nicely into emails and do not wrap. You can adjust the length at when it turns them into a TinyURL by going in the settings and entering in a higher number.

You shouldn't get that error, unless the php installation you are using is running in safe mode, which is likely the case for you. Anyways, you'll need to log into your newsgrop server with another news program and find the id of the message you want to start from and enter that number in the database under the lastmsg column. The number can be found in the header of the message at the end of the Xref line.

Thanks Gilby, I should have realized that!

BTW, I noticed something odd while looking through the database with phpMyAdmin. Every thread I look at has a msgid value of <Matthew.Hunter.2anka@toonzone.net>, even non-newsgroup threads. Matthew Hunter is the name of one if my users. Any idea why this is?
