AWS, thanks for the fix with the post time.

Is there a way to completely disable the forum thread and user's profile from being attached to the end of a message? I just deleted these variables completely, but I haven't tested it yet.

Also, when someone creates a new thread on my board, why is it imported back to my board after it's exported out? For example, here is the original thread from my board:

http://www.hdtv-info.org/forum/showthread.php?t=483

And here is the very next thread being duplicated after the import:

http://www.hdtv-info.org/forum/showthread.php?t=484

There is also an option to not send the thread and profile link. Option 7 or 8 I think. I have that disabled and then define a default footer to attach which is the second to last option.
I've never had a problem with threads from the board being duplicated.
Do you have more than one feed going into one forum?

Thanks for your help!

I only have one HDTV newsgroup going into my forum, but I changed the "No Organization Check" variable, and it stopped the duplicate messages. Are there any negatives to changing this variable?

Okay last question. How do I add a carriage return inside my default footer? I tried \n but this didn't work. Right now when someone creates a post, it puts the default footer on the same line as the username. For example, my outgoing posts look like this:

--
hdtvnutThis post originated from http://www.hdtv-info.org/forum/

Please, go through settings at least once.

It is not that the connection takes so much time, it is the time it needs to insert the imported posts into the forum system. It needs to build index, find the similar threads... Normal user posts message one by one, we are 'posting' perhaps hundreds of messages in one go. If your server is slow, then it will take a long time.

In
includes/functions_nntp.php
find
$signature .= $nntp_settings['default_footer'] . "\n";
change it to
$signature .= "\n" . $nntp_settings['default_footer'] . "\n";

should do the trick.

Ok, cheers :)

I do have a wierd problem with the script at the moment, it just stops importing certain messages and it exits the while script. It does this every time it runs and I have to tell it to skip manually. Do you know why it might be doing this, or how the script can just skip it if it can't import it?

Hi

I´m trying to remove the "reply buttons as told in the "hacking_guide" but can't find the showthread template....anyone who can tell me where to find it?

im running 3.0.7

/peter

What php version are you running ? Take a look at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=801

So If I understood you correctly, if I comment this line in functions_nntp.php

and then use these functions (in Admin CP -> Import & Maintenance):

-> Rebuild Forum Information
-> Rebuild Similar Threads

(or perhaps Rebuild Search Index)

that will speed up the import process since the rebuild function will be called just once (at the end), is that correct?

(imported newsgroups are shown to visitors only after the import process is finished)
