The name "killfile" is kind of a misnomer... any entries you put into that ACP option will actually have the affect of skipping the post, not actually moving it to a seperate forum or file.

Right. I didn't realize there was a 'values' field. duhh

I just figured out how to get the quick reply and reply buttons to go away for newsgroup threads.

See attached Advanced gateway hacking guide for the steps I used. I have 3.5 but I would think it would work fine in 3.6 as well.

I've just noticed that forum subscription doesn't work (at least not for me). When new threads are created from the newsgroup/mailing list I don't receive any email notification.

Does anyone know how to code this? Or point me in the right direction?

I'm looking for other sources to network this Gateway with beyond Usenet. Is anyone using this Gateway to network forums other than Usenet? It appears Microsoft pubic forums are a possibility. Is there anything else out there that people are using the Gateway with?

Thanks. -- Rik

Just upgraded from 3.5.2 to 3.6.4

The instructions say:
That worked fine in 3.5.x but in 3.6 there is no such line.
I tried a couple of similar places but then the NNTP links would show up in every menu category.

Thanks

I found that if I put 'www' and 'http' in the killfile, there are a significant amount of posts that are not imported from usenet, sometimes causing threads to be not found by reference and split up. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you for this hack. I currently have it setup and am importing posts from four newgroups. However, I am noticing a problem with bbcodes. The gateway script automatically adds color and adds [url] tags around URL's, however these bbcodes are not being parsed correctly when viewing the thread. The raw bbcode appears. I suppose I could rebuild the post cache to fix all those that I have already imported, but it would be nice if new posts added would have corresponding entries in the postparsed table.

Thanks

Installed this hack and finally got it running, I think I have applied all "updates" found in this thread, but I got a big problem.......

When downloading pictures from the news, some of them will be corrupted ( not all, pictures I have sent to the news group are fine :confused: , most of the other are distorted or just blank )

Will this NTTP Newsgroup hack work well with 3.6.5?

I coudn't locate any hack for 3.6.5!

Any body around have installed it successfully?

Thanks!

I only use the newsgroup option but that part works fine for me with vb 3.6.5. -- Rik
