Y'all, I believe that FastForward said earlier (a few posts ago) that a complete rewrite for VB 2.2.1 was in the works, and will be forthcoming. From his comments, I suggest waiting.

It works well on my current board(2.0.3), but I have not tried to apply it to my upgrade to 2.2.1. I'm sorta waiting until it's available.

I have alot of hacks to reapply to my 2.2.1 build, and from the results of the current usenet hack, i'm more than willing to wait, even if it means staying on 2.0.3 for a while longer. FF has done a totally stellar job on this, and I can't imagine how much better the new one's gonna be!!

The way it works on my board is that when one of my member ship post a reply to a usenet thread, it looks just like any other post.

I have the newnews.pl script setup to execute twice daily. At those times, any replies made to usenet posts are posted back to the usenet server, and newsgroup the thread originated from. When it does this, it issues messages to indicate it has posted a reply, and if email notification is enabled, a email is sent to the forum member that the thread reply was posted to the usenet group server.

After the the newnews.pl script has completed execution, you should be able to go to the usenet newsgroup via Outlook epress (or any news group viewer) and see the reply.

This is the procedure I used to certify that all was in place and working as expected.

(Hope I got it right, FF! :wink: )

Tim, I hope this helps, else, holla at me again!

I went and posted a few replies, and ran the script manually, this is what I got! It's a PNG image, so it's very small:
