From: Simon Lloyd on 11 May 2010 14:01 Brude i don't understand?, the folk who use our forums do not use or see a newsreader but simply foum posts in a vBulletin community, so if you mean they have no choice of NG viewer then your right, but then again they choose to use our forums for the interface as threads seem easier for them to follow.......depends what you're used to i suppose :) B r u c e S i n c l a i r ; 7 2 0 8 7 9 W r o t e : > In article <Simon.Lloyd.4aqr25(a)thecodecage.com>, Simon Lloyd <Simon.Lloyd.4aqr25(a)thecodecage.com> wrote: > >My forums have both members and newsgroup forums, we have many folk >that come to use the interface with the newsgroups, we use nntp software >to automatically post and retrieve posts from the newsgroups, i don't >think other news readers are configurable to allow automation, but would >be good if we could find one so that the members that use these forums >for the NG interface will still be catered for. > There's *alot* of news software out there, so I'm sure some of it will do what you are wanting to do ... but suggest you give people some options, rather than picking something to 'support'.

Ah, now, which organisation had exactly that policy (everything that goes through our networks we own the rights to forever without paying anything) for everything sent through its network in any way a year or so back ? It might have been telecom (a major NZ communications company) or them and a partner of some sort. Might even have been a MS partner. I can't recall exactly, but when the terms and conditions of the new "service" were translated into English (from IT and lawyer speak) I do recall the uproar. :) >- Jon >------- >Jon Peltier >Peltier Technical Services, Inc. >http://peltiertech.com/ > > >On 5/10/2010 4:01 AM, Bob Phillips wrote: >> Everything looks better when we control it! >>

Yep. That's what I mean. Suggesting there is only one way to do something with a computer is simply crazy, as "everyone knows" this is simply wrong. Why they think people will believe it is beyond me. And it may well be that someone quickly comes up with a "MS forum to newsgroups translater" of course. :)
