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.
I verified that I can log out of the main Infragistics site and then log in again using the same user name and password that is in the NNTP reader.
Regarding posting --
I followed the instructions. I also tried forums.infragistics.com, with the same result.
It took more than 5 seconds for the page to compose this message to come up. Also, with the old newsgroups setup, I was able to post attachments.
Aside from these issues, the Community Server setup is a great improvement.
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.
sounds like you haven't set the newsgroup reader to login using your member id and password.
See the post in this forum titled "Are new forums available to NewsReaders? " and the FAQ that it points to.
Hopefully that information will help you solve the problem
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.
