works with both 2.2.9 and 2.3.0

I've been using this nntp hack since gilby originally made it, and its worked with every vbulletin since 2.2.3

The email one I dont know, but to stop your board from sending posts onto usenet, just set up the access masks to allow people to view the posts or threads, but not post/reply/create etc.

For the email you can try this, you need to edit a entry in the database, in the table: nntp_settings

The title is: Email address domain

Change the value: timelimit.yourserver.com
To what ever you need, I dont know if this works 100% but by the look of it, and what the description of it says, it should do.

As for the cron job, I do it a simple way and use MS Task scheduler, just point it to iexplorer.exe (or what ever browser) like this:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://theborg.cjb.net/borg/forums/gateway.php

The above is all one line, you can see if it works via wacking it in your RUN command line from the Start Menu (for us Windows users)

Have it as often as you like, I have it every 20 minutes.

Use the Search system


Thanks

Its your IE settings you need to reset them and it should work.

works under 2.3.0 for me.

I've recently changed servers, and I am now getting this error when I try and pick up POP3 posts:

POP3: premature NOOP OK, NOT an RFC 1939 Compliant server

The only thing that is different is the server environment, ie its a different webserver.

Any ideas on how to fix this, so I can use the POP3 function again and feed my mailing lists to the forums?

Any tricks or advice regarding avoiding the gateway.php from timing out when importing a large amount of posts?

I notice that some users have figured a way to do this. Any suggestions?

increasin the timeout in php.ini ?

It's okay, I got around it by using another news server. :)
