Thanks Sanjiyan,

I have tried looking for free nntp servers that I could use, but it really isn't that easy. When I start reading through their terms it becomes clear that linking to a vbulletin forum to pull and post messages isn't allowed.

I couldn't find any settings to put in for google either (although I regularly use the web to view usenet through google groups).

Can anyone tell me the settings for a free nntp server that would allow me to pull and post messages to and from my VB forum?

If I have to pay, can anyone recommend a server that is excellent value for use with vb?

Are there any pitfalls or things that I should think about when signing up with a commercial service?

Thanks.
