wow it amazes me how far this hack has come - it is a program in its own right now! Brilliant.
I can't wait to install, going to wait until stable vbeta comes out - the upgrading is killing me, i am only on beta3 i think the thought of all the template changes gives me sleepless nights  Cheers so much for the hack - so cool! |

I totally agree!
I'm dead impressed with this script - it has added a great deal to the forums on my site. Keep up the good work...just waiting for VB 2 to come out of beta so I can stop upgrading this damn thing!! |

I'm trying to learn more about this hack before implmenting it on my own Forums.
My understanding is that any post that is made in the newgroup that you have "registered" to will show up as a post in that particular Forum in your Forums? Thos posts are by "unregistered" users who posted through the newgroup? Also, usenet newsgroups receive a ton of spam/junkmail from people advertising everything from get rich quick schemes to porn sites. Is there a way to keep these kinds of posts out of your forum/usenet gateway??? |

There is fantastic, fully customisable spam filter built into the hack to prevent getting spam from --> newsgroups.

I've run into a problem...
I've just upgraded my VB to 2.0b5 and at the same time upgraded to Usenet Gateway 2.6 for b5... Now all seemed to go well until I started pulling new posts again...i've got an extract below, where the newnews.pl just hangs after checking for orphans...the weird thing is that top still reports that mysqld is running and pulling quite a load on the server, so something is happening!...HELP Quote:

What version of the usenet hack were you running before? Did your previous version have the orhan checking routine?
If it looks like MySQL is doing something, it most probably is. The orphan checking routine is quite intensive if there are a lot of articles in the usenet_article table. Assuming you didn't have the orphan reply check in your previous version: 1) If there are a lot of records in the usenet_article table (over 1,000), you can try putting an index on the 'title' column in the thread table temporarily. You should also investigate why there are so many records if this is the case. Make sure your 'expire' setting is set to something sensible in the control panel. It should be 2 to 5 days. If your previous version did have the orphan checking routine: The change in this version is the use of LOW_PRIORITY on the insert statement of that routine. It will take longer than usual, but I must admit, on my shared virtual server I did not notice any difference. Finally, you may want to experiment by removing the STRAIGHT_JOIN hint from line 407 of newnews.pl. This hint forces MySQL to join the tables in the same order as the select clause. It works faster on my setup with that hint, but you never know, try removing it and see what happens. Other than that, I don't know what to suggest. You're not getting an error message and that particular routine is doing nothing fancy. Just a bunch of querie on the title field of the thread table. Let me know how you get on. |

Stephan
Did the script ever finish? Did you kill it? Is it working now? Did your server meltdown?

They have a lot listed there, the free servers are probably not going to be very reliable though. You should try to get one close to where your server is located as it will be faster. There are lots of other lists out there too. |

Fastforward,
Sorry for the delay in replying, I (quite stupidly) did the upgrade quite late in the evening and when I encountered the problems just killed the whole process and re-started it again this morning... Anyway... I was running 2.4 for B3, but I downloaded the 2.5 and 2.6 versions of the usenet hack and applied each SQL upgrade instructions seperately - so as if I had upgraded to 2.5 then 2.6... I checked the usenet_article table and found over 3000 articles in there...since this is a beta test for my users I decided to empty that table and all other tables apart from the tables that seem to have settings in them. I re-ran the script on the one newsgroup (that I know only has a few hundred posts in anyway) and the whole thing went really quickly...i'm doing some more testing and starting to re-populate the forums now so will post more details on how I get on later...
