I got my newsreader, Outlook Express, to the point where I can read messages. However, I can't post.
The error message is
Posting is not allowed to the newsgroup 'infragistics.web_sites'. Please remove 'infragistics.web_sites' from your newsgroups line.
Of course, if you can get the new web forum tuned up to where it responds a lot faster, there would no longer be a reason to use a newsreader.
Hi howardw39,
Did you follow the instructions here? Sounds like an authentication failure.
Also, regarding slowness, are there particular operations you're seeing being slow? Particular times? We've not seen noticeable slowness as a rule, but we'll be glad to try to improve it if we can.
Re slowness --
It takes about 4 seconds from the time I click on a thread until the thread is displayed, for a thread with about 8 posts. The problem isn't our bandwidth. The peak bit rate coming is is about 300 Kb/sec, and we have a T1 web connection. I would send you a picture of the data rate vs time, but I can't figure out how to send attachments without posting them on a Web server.
To me, anything longer than one second is unacceptable if there is an alternative.
