I'm getting timeouts too.
PHP is not running in safe mode.
If i change the lastmsg column field in db and re-run gateway.php all i get is a DNS error, a file not found error.

heheh done. :)
Grabbed 30k posts, all at once, and no connection timeout, you just have to fool the browser. :D

This hack absolutely rocks. By far this is going to add more functionality to our forums than anything I've seen.

Thank you, thank you THANK YOU!!!

INSTALL............... :banana:

I apologize if this has already been answered here, but this thread is getting long and my searches resulted in no answers.

What I would like to do is have the ability to post a sticky thread into the forum without that one being sent out to the related usenet newsgroup.

I guess this becomes a 2 part question:

1. Can you post a sticky thread and will that screw up the system?

2. Is there a way to post in my forum and not have it be sent out to the public.

(I tried running the setlastmsg thing, but that seems to only work on incoming, not outgoing)

Thanks!

edit: sorry for double posting!

great hack!! :bunny: some questions:

how can I leave out the signatures and user titles when posting to a group ?

edit: and how can I change the quote color ?

and when I look into a thread I can't see the poster name, always just "guest"

Can I ask How did you do this? Mine always timesout. I love this script though.

Another question--I'd like to be able to delete the posts without opening them up first (sometimes I can tell what is spam or unrelated to the topic without opening them) and since I edit the garbage out this would make things much easier. Is there a way?

Question 3:
Is there a way to not include the previous replies, etc. that show up under the users post? A lot of times it is just the same thing over and over in each persons post--and this just seams to take up space. Just wondering... Thanks!

I have another important question:

How can I exclude the newsgroups forums from the search function ??????

First - it?s a really great hack so far and I want to thank the author for sharing it with us.

But as Schorsch mentioned before - most people in serious newsgroups are not very amused by the produced signature.
Couldn?t there be a way that this hack reads out the mail-adress from the database and takes that as signature ? May be like
Not at least I would aprecciate that the mailadress of the poster is his own. Actual the poster-adress in those ng-postings is set to "membername.12345@yourdomain.com - and that?s far from beeing neat if you have a <catchall>-mailfunction running on your domains - never had that much spam before... :surprised: <args>

And beside that other ng-users can calm down.. - actual it?s really producing lots of trouble...

Just my two thoughts - but I think it?s really important.
