Problems with Newsgroups?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.whitewolf (More info?)

Has anyone else noticed any problems with their newsgroup servers? I
usually get mine through Charter, but for some reason for the last few
days it hasn't been reading any new messages, though I apparently
found some listed here. If you don't mind me asking, what servers do
most of you go through? How many of you post through sites, like
Google Groups, for instance? Just wondering.

I use http://news.individual.net/, much like many other
alt.games.whitewolf posters (for a while it was sorta the agww
unofficial official news server, IIRC), and have never had a problem
with it.

Apparently it's working now that I emailed my provider, but I didn't get
anything posted between my last message and this one. I didn't even get
the post I made about this, having it say that the message had expired
on the server.

I use the Netscape Mail program to read newsgroups normally. It's not
so bad, and I like it a LOT better than Outlook. Just for some reason I
was having problems getting messages, and I was trying to figure out if
it was just my providor, or the actual newsgroup.

I post through Google, largely because I'm too cheap to do anything
else! (hey, all my spare cash goes to anime and gaming books!)

In fact, this is my first post using Google's new Beta configuration;
at first I hated it, but I see now that it can be custormized back to
something I'm more familiar with, so that's ok. Just hope it's not too
glitched up...[wards against Paradox]

Yeah, see my access is provided by my ISP, so I get it included in my
internet costs, and don't have to pay anything extra.

My ISP provides a news server and I use Forte Agent
(http://forteinc.com/main/homepage.php)

it's reasonably easy to set up and means it has nothing to do with
Outlook or web based.

Has easy to set up subscription to newsgroups and sort/filter etc
settings
