Hi!

What a great mod, thanks for sharing this!

I have two questions :

1. # of imported posts are different from those given by Outlook Express. Is there a way to search for duplicates ? (not that I trust OE, but...)
2. I'm wondering if it's legal to import msg from, say, MS newsgroups ? I mean it's not usenet

Thanks,
AG.

Hi everyone.

We still getting the same issue as listed here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=677 posts going outbound get re-imported in the next run.

You can see and example here: http://forums.deeperblue.net/showpos...42&postcount=6 (original post in the forums) and http://forums.deeperblue.net/showpos...46&postcount=7 (reimported post).

Any ideas?

I have answered this question many, many times. You need to at least go through once all the NNTP settings in the control panel.

1. Need more details, does the gateway rereive more messages than OE? or the other way around. Do you have any kill files on one of these?

2. I think they wouldn't worry about archiving their newsgroups. Google does that anyway. MS newsgroups are Usenet. I am not a lawyer, so take care.:)

When I try to prune in vb by using that name it never finds them either in the by name or by subject field.

Thanks again!

The kill file matches all header fields including the sender name.

May be they use some sort of ASCII charactors to fool.

I can import into specific forums or subforums, but that is all I have as an option from the drop-down box in the Admin CP when specifying NNTP Newsgroups. I see no place where I can enter in a specific URL or already established thread...Is this possible?

You just need to forward the email with the same subject, by an automated way naturally, then it will be imported into the same thread.

Why would posts / threads be double counted in the overall stats (but not on the individual stats)?

This happened both when I initially downloaded threads as well as everytime I d/l additonal posts when the cron job runs.

oh yeah, and non-usenet forums that are strictly local do correctly update the overall and forum specific post/thread count at a 1:1 ratio.

:pirate:

The total counts are calculated based on each forum's counts when the main page loads. So it is impossible the total counts are wrong while the individual forum's stats are right.

I will check this when I get a chance to play on an empty forum.

The gateway retreive more messages than OE. I tested GW with microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support, I ended with 25,261 threads and 75,698 posts, while OE retrieved 19,520 (OE showed something like 500K msg, then quickly went down to 19K)

Anyone know what this error is and how to fix it? I just got it 1 day after switching to a new data feed - I dont think that would cause it though

Table nntp_groups could be corrupted, as the database can not find the nntp_groups.MYI (the index file). You can try to rebuild the table, or just delete it altogher and let the script to create a new empty table.
