dlb7be Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 I like this forum, I can access it at anytime. I was not able to access the newsgroups when I am "on the job" connected thru VPN. So, I had to disconnect my VPN first, then go to my outlook express. Doreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renee Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I, too, couldn't access it AT ALL at work, so I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! ~ your favorite problem child, Renee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Britt Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Is the old news server newsgroup still available? If so can you tell me where to point my newsreader so I can access the old newsgroup. Thank you Gary Britt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floyd Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Gary, The old newsgroup was discontinued. All of the messages have been archived in a searchable .chm format and can be found in the Professional Grade Macros forum, or by clicking on this link.

kevin Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Why, when I reply at 9:33 PM (my time) does the post say 1:33 AM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Why, when I reply at 9:33 PM (my time) does the post say 1:33 AM? Make sure that your time zone settings in your board control panel is set correctly. Go to "My Controls" -> "Board Settings" and you'll see the time zone information at the top.

joe Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hello Kevin! Good question. Thanks for asking. Each user can control their own time setting by changing the Time Zone choice in the My Controls | Board Settings dialog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oded Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Love it! Now I can access it from everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 The web-forum format is much more user friendly than the newsgroup format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I am glad everyone likes the new board.. I just wanted to find out what people thought about it, and I really appreciate the questions / concerns. It is ultimately Joe's choice on this. Well I apologize it took so long to respond. I was working on some other projects, and well forgot about this post until yesterday. Everyone have a great day! Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzygy Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I one of those who complained because I had no access at all to the newsgroup. (I'd have to pay more to my IP to have such access.) So I'm very, very pleased with this bulletin board. I only wonder why Invision and not vBulletin? Price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregChi Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 I have just spent 2.5 hrs on your server reading ?100? msgs that I was reading AT MY leisure via Agent from the newsgroups. I hope SOMEONE will get these BACK on newsgroups............ Two methods can be used....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 A purely personal opinion (is there another type <g>?). I actually prefer newsgroups for visual reasons. You get far less noise and fluff with text as compared with HTML - just look at the amount of wasted space in each message. But if more people get to see and use this techmology (and that's obviously the case) then I'll grin and bear it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noggin the Nog Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I started accessing the newsgroup just as it closed (was that a hint or what?). I think the forum format is fine and gives one the opportunity to have a really silly avatar. The typical number of messages in a thread are not that great in the forum and I find it better than a newsgroup for navigating messages - just scroll down. You can also edit your own posts - tidier than posting subsequent corrections. Personally I don't customize the setup very much but some people like doing that.

GregChi Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I have no problem with the forum format (for those that prefer it) My 'complaint' is that BOTH methods could/should be available ( maybe as an accessible archive that could be d/l'd & read AT MY LEASURE.w/o being 'connected'.......
