Can anyone recommend a NNTP provider that provides NNTP access over port 80? I need to use port 80 for my gateway.php because my hosting provider blocks all traffic on port 119.

Thanks.

I *think* giganews.com allows traffic over port 80. Someone else in this thread said so. You can sign up with them for a 3-day trail before they will charge you.

Guys,

I'm having a small issue. When a user posts to our usenet forum it gets posted to the relevant Newsgroup, however during the next import run means the posted message gets imported as a seperate post on the thread. I suspect it isn't supposed to work that way.

Any ideas?

Anyone else having problems with imported posts not getting added to the original thread and instead creating a NEW thread with the exact same title? This is getting to be a real bother.

If you go through the settings, you will find the answer.

Hi lierduh PLEASE HELP,

I'm having signature problems. Posts are being sent no problem. Footer is sent no problem. Username sent too. But signatures only appear in local forum and are not sent in usenet. And the signature box before posting is selected.

Signature: XXXXXXXXXXXXX

NNTP Settings:

nosignature = 0
nofooter = 1
default_footer = http://www.mywebsite.com
send_message = 1

Result in usenet:

--
The Prince

http://www.mywebsite.com


Also, you modified the email sent to usenet, is it still possible to have the emails sent the old way?

ThePrince.1dnp9z@mywebsite.com

Finally, is it possible to strip the footer of a message? The reason I'm asking is that in the newgroup I'm using there are many similar footers used by other websites, and I'd like to prevent my users from seeing the link of a competitor. I'd like for these footer not to show. (it says in the settings that the killfiles are not set to work with usenet)


thanks!

In file functions_nntp.php

Around line 340. Replace the block of the code with the following:

Leave the email as default (empty), then it will behavour the same way as before.

I think someone posted a modification about the chopping of footer for the usenet in this thread somewhere.

How do I change the blue font color on the usenet quotes to a different color? Im using a black background, and it's kind of dark. What file do I have to edit in-order to change it?

oops suddenly stopped receiving/sending usenet posts to/from my forum

I am assuming this is a problem from server end related to port 119, i tried confirming the same with provider he says nothing has been changed.

Any one can confirm what is happening ? I have scheduled this task to run every hour in my task manager of vbulletin.. Here is the log according to same :

Please let me know what would be wrong ? It was running fine since months then suddenly since 2 days getting those messages.

Regards,
