.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / July 2007Unable to post to this group
This is the second time in a few weeks that I write posts that never show up in the group. Is there something wrong with this group? Does anyone have similar experiences? What are you all using to read and write posts in news groups? I use Google Groups but I'm getting suspicious of its quality... -- Hans Always go right to the source. Point Outlook Express, or another news reader, to news.microsoft.com. When using another service to post, you're not actually guaranteed to get a message here. Even an ISP's news server may not push the message up to the actual ms news servers.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > -- Hans I suspect the problem is at your end (with your news server or client). I see posts from you dated 7/25. 7/24, 7/20 and several from 7/19. There are responses to all of them, as well. I am cc'ing this to your email in case you cannot see your post or this response via your news server/client. If you are using OE as your news client, try resetting this group and re-downloading all headers. I am unable to use Outlook Express at the company I'm working at... they don't allow it and told me to use some online tool if I need newsgroups. Hence I turned to Google Groups. Do you have a suggestion for an alternative, if only to determine whether Google is the problem or not. Indeed I have been successful in posting messages in the past... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. -- Hans > > This is the second time in a few weeks that I write posts that never > > show up in the group.

Hi Froefel, I just saw your note about not being able to use News Readers, so scratch my last post about Outlook Express. Microsoft does offer a web-based reader for their newsgroups here - http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx - but it sucks IMO. It's clunky and not very easy to use, but it's there if you need it.

Interestingly enough... I've tried posting my message with the crippled and ridiculously disfunctional MS groups reader you mentioned, amd it doesn't show up either, even though I get a confirmation message from miscrosoft. This always seems to happen when I'm posting C# code as part of my message. I'm starting to wonder whether certain characters are causing the problem, such as curly braces or semicolons or something. -- Hans > Hi Froefel, > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > >> If you are using OE as your news client, try resetting this group and > >> re-downloading all headers. > Interestingly enough...

As I told you previously, your posts are making it to the newsgroup, but you seem unable to see them. Have you tried a Google Groups Advanced Search, specifying "Froefel" as the sender? >> Interestingly enough...

I noticed this too, many of my posts didn't appear in google groups, but they did once I hit the newsgroups via another server. Alex > Interestingly enough...

Hmm, Odd. I never used the MS web-based reader really, so not sure. Another option is you could run your own web-based reader maybe at home, and remote into it via web or Telnet/SSH. You could do it via Linux or even Windows. If you're an old-school BBSer you can download Synchronet BBS (www.syncro.net) and it has built in Newsgroup server and client to pull from your home ISP's server. Then using either the web server or even Telnet you can remote in and hit the newsgroups. Plus doing it this way you could also have access to various BBS networks (DoveNet, Fidonet, etc). A very round about way of doing this, but it'd work... Alex > Interestingly enough...

Hi Hans, I've had tons of problems with Google Groups over the last two or so weeks, so I started hitting the Micorsoft news server via Outlook Express. I believe the news server name is msnews.microsoft.com, and you can use any news reader. I enjoy Google News because I can search all news entries going back literally to 1981 while local news is more the last week or two (or however log the reader keeps the messages), but in the case where Google fubars, using a local reader should get you in.
