First of all, thanks for this wonderful hack. I've been using this successfully for months. However it doesn't work correctly with 3.6.

The biggest issue is when i click on the 'go to last post' button on forumhome, it says no thread specified and it leads to: /showthread.php?p=0#post0. I have noticed that last button code does not seem the same between 3.5x and 3.6: .../forum/showthread.php?goto=lastpost... and .../forum/showthread.php?p=...#post...

I didn't test mailing list, attachments, export to usenet.

Thanks for any feedback on this issue

Would appreciate any insight on this one...

vB 3.6.0 -- Incoming feeds are working. Outgoing feeds though are a problem. According to the logs everything is working fine... the outgoing posts are giving a status code of 240 and no errors are record.

The outgoing posts, though, never appear on the news server. :(

Thoughts? Anybody know of a free NNTP server that I can use for testing just to see if the problem is with my site or my news provider?

I can set up an account for you at news.tornevall.net. Just send me a PM if you're interested. :)

TMM-TT,

Thanks for the offer. I seem to have solved my issue, though. I switched from Supernews (via Forte's Agent News provider) to Giganews and everything is working fine again.

Thanks, :cool:
Kevin

Perfect. Just tell me if there's any interest of forum-usenet-accounts.. :)


Another question -

When posts are made into the forum, I sometimes can see duplicate posts; just after the post, the imported one repeats itself so it looks like duplicates in the forum. Does anyone know if there's any dupechecking somewhere, or is it like this for you too?

Edit: My little solution didn't work, so I wonder if there is any other to prevent dupes instead. :P

I'm finding most free servers are supporting only NNRP, any way to implement this?

200 news.tornevall.net InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.4.3 ready (posting ok).

NNRP is the NNTP server for reader clients, that comes with the INN server package, a news-server running under Linux.

Are there any decent free servers for text only? I have a Giganews account but they tie you to a single IP so if youre logged in with a client on your home machine, the server cant log in to process messages.

I was hoping using their text only server they might let it slide but alas, they dont.

I can't connect to anything all of a sudden. Is there something on a server that would deny access? Some security thing?

Anyone gotten this to work with Google Groups? Not Google's Usenet archive but the Google email groups.
